Welcome to Maps of the Lost: your guide to the lost places and the secret histories. Be cautious though. If you follow these maps, you may become lost yourself.

This week we find out why a bothy is not always a shelter in a storm, why the leaves of an oak and the parts of a fish you throw away might save you, about messages from the birds, hidden tunnels, lonely men, and a crying woman with a most peculiar tin.

Enjoy. But don’t look inside, now.
