The legend of the Sawney Beane family
The 48 cannibalistic members of the evil family of the Scotsman Sawney Beane are variously described as having lived in any century between the 13th and 18th, depending on the source consulted. One site goes as far as to give the date of their capture – 1435.
The Beane story, no doubt, is a legend, but one can only wonder if there was some series of disturbing events in old Scotland from which it arose.
I've posted this intriguing story here at the Scriptorium.
