This historic folktale, penned down by Dr. John Leyden, is deeply rooted in the rich Gaelic tradition of Scotland. The image depicts a scene from this intriguing story, with Macphail, dressed in traditional Scottish attire, sitting on the deck of a ship. His gaze is fixed on the horizon, as if longing for the sight of land. A mermaid, with her ethereal beauty and hauntingly beautiful eyes, is shown in the water, reaching out for him. Her long, flowing hair and fish tail are a stark reminder of her otherworldly nature. The story goes that Macphail was carried off by the mermaid during a storm at sea. For years, he lived with her in a grotto beneath the waves, where they had several children. However, the allure of the land and his longing for his people eventually grew too strong. With the mermaid's help, Macphail was brought near the shore of Colonsay. He seized the opportunity to escape, leaving his underwater life behind.
