Great atmosphere!

One question about language - when Flòraidh tells him to come into the house, she says "thig". We would use "trobhad" as the imperative form of "come" in the present, with "thig" being future tense, e.g. "thig mi a-màireach". I'm just wondering whether that's a dialect difference between Scotland and Nova Scotia?

Tapadh leat airson a' glacadh sin! I wasn't too sure since I was using it a bit like "thig a-steach", but now I know and can change it!

Wow! What an ending! Discourages one from delving into things they know very little about, for fear of what they might encounter!

Did they leave Duncan behind to die because he had learned the truth about the Red Priest, or are there rules that say the outside world has no business probing into the old ways?

Well, I didn’t see that coming… and she seemed like such a nice girl.

Wow. I'm impressed. Great story. I had a feeling the girl was hiding something. Peace
