It is a part of Scotland which has always relied on the surrounding sea to sustain the small communities which have occupied parts of the islands for centuries, therefore, it is natural that these seas are a source for many of these legends.
As Illas Hébridas son unha parte de Escocia que sempre contou co mar para soster as pequenas comunidades que as ocuparon ó longo dos séculos, por iso, é natural que estes mares sexan a fonte da que xurdiron moitas destas lendas.
