![]() ![]() Scottish artist Alexander Goudie (1933–2004) was obsessed with witchcraft and Nannie Dee. Unfortunately, the real hero of the story – Maggie – loses her tail along the way. What follows is a wild macabre hunt for Tam and Maggie, who narrowly escape death as they gallop with full speed back home, where Kate waits up for her philandering husband. Unsurprisingly, Nannie Dee does not enjoy peeping Tam's catcalling. She is nicknamed ' Cutty-sark' (literally meaning 'short chemise' – the name of the famous tea clipper originates from this story). ![]() Instead of quietly retreating from the frightening scene (as any sane and sober person would do), Tam decides to heckle a bonny lass in a short nightshirt, who turns out to be a witch named Nannie Dee.
