The sources for this record are a forum thread and a hotel blog, which list the stories without telling them. I have written only what they say. The Piper of Windy 'Ha is a known Caithness fairy tale, which was cited as being in Omand's book. If anyone holds fuller versions of the mummy or Valkyrie stories, they would be worth adding.
