Book Overview

The Cat-Stane, Edinburghshire: Is It Not The Tombstone Of The Grandfather Of Hengist And Horsa? is a historical book written by James Young Simpson and published in 1862. The book explores the origins and possible significance of the Cat-Stane, a large standing stone located in Edinburghshire, Scotland.

The book delves into the history and mythology surrounding the Cat-Stane, examining its possible connections to the ancient Celtic and Germanic cultures.
