The Nine Maidens, integral to Arthurian,<br />
Norse, Greek, Irish and Gikuyu myths,<br />
feature globally. Stuart McHardy explores<br />
nine-woman groups' echoes from Europe<br />
to Siberia, Korea, India and Africa. As Pictish<br />
saints, muses, valkyries, druidesses or<br />
witches, their tales traverse cultural and<br />
linguistic landscapes, sparked by a Dundee<br />
story. These women embody a fascinating<br />
intersection of history and mythology,<br />
spanning continents and narratives.<br />
STUART MCHARDY is a writer, historical scholar, poet, musician, folklorist<br />
and renowned lecturer about Scottish history and culture, at home as well<br />

immersion in the storytelling arts and history alike. Former President of<br />
the Pictish Arts Society and the Director of the Scots Language Resource<br />
Centre, McHardy has occupied lead positions with organisations working<br />
towards the aim of rediscovering Scottish national identity.<br />
