About this listen
Drift into sleep with enchanting tales of the selkies, Scotland's mysterious seal-folk who shed their skins to walk as humans.
This soothing fireside narration explores five authentic selkie legends from the Scottish islands, including:
- The Goodman O' Wastness
- The Seven Tears
- The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry
- Roderick MacCodrum & the Seal Woman
- The Seal that did not Forget
Journey through Orkney, Shetland, and the Outer Hebrides I share stories of stolen sealskins, prophecy and tragedy, the seven tears tradition, and the enduring bond between humans and the seal-folk. These tales explore themes of longing, freedom, love across boundaries, and the price of trying to hold what was never meant to be kept.
Perfect for bedtime listening, relaxation, or deepening your knowledge of Scottish mythology and Celtic folklore.
