Today’s episode is a special one as it marks the release of my new book, Scottish Myths & Legends Volume II.

For this episode I wanted to share with you a story narrated by Angus King, who narrated the audiobook of Scottish Myths & Legends Volumes I & II. The story comes from the island of Barra in the Outer Hebrides. I first heard it from Linda Williamson, the wife of the famous Traveller storyteller Duncan Williamson, and it’s called Fair Maid’s Tresses.
