Episode 42: Burns Night, Haunted Castles and Scottish Folklore

In the first episode of the new year, I'm taking you to my favorite place. (That I haven't been to yet...) We're exploring legends like selkies and kelpies, haunting estates and castles like the House of Dun, Eilean Donan Castle, Fyvie Castle, Dunrobin Castle, and Crathes Castle. And I end on my poor reading of Tam O' Shanter, though I really did try to do it justice.

I used the song Heavy Heart by Kevin MacLeod in the background
