B R I T T A N Y 
Long, long ago in Scotland, the famous Celtic bard named Ossian,
had a daughter called Malvina. She was beautiful and sweet natured.
She won the heart of
Oscar, a handsome warrior.
They became betrothed, but Oscar left in
search of fame and fortune.
Malvina pined for him and sought solace by
telling her father
how much she loved
her brave warrior, Oscar.
On a beautiful autumn day, the two were
sitting on a Highland hillside
when a ragged
messenger staggered towards them.
He brought the terrible news that Oscar
had been killed in a mighty battle.
The messenger held out a spray of purple heather to Malvina - a last gift from Oscar
- and told her that he
had died whispering her name and pledging his love.
In her grief, Malvina
ran over the hillside, weeping bitterly.
Where her tears fell, the purple heather turned pure white.
When she saw this, she said
"May this white heather
forever bring good fortune to all those who find it".
And so, in
Scotland, to this very day, white heather continues to be a token of good luck.
