The Legend of White Heather

Long, long ago in Scotland , the famous Celtic bard, Ossian, had a daughter called Malvina. She was beautiful and sweet natured. She won the heart of Oscar, a handsome warrior.

They became betrothed, but Oscar left in search of fame and fortune.

Malvina pined for him and sought solace by telling her father how much she loved her brave warrior, Oscar.

On a beautiful autumn day, the two were sitting on a
Highland hillside when a ragged messenger staggered towards them.

He brought the terrible news that Oscar had been killed in a mighty battle. The messenger held out a spray of purple heather to Malvina - a last gift from Oscar - and told her that he had died whispering her name and pledging his love.

In her grief, Malvina ran over the hillside, weeping bitterly. Where her tears fell, the purple heather turned pure white. When she saw this, she said "May this white heather forever bring good fortune to all those who find it".

And so, in
Scotland , to this very day, white heather continues to be a token of good luck.
