45. Origins of the Selkie Folk

Seals under the waves, humans upon the shore, selkies are some of Scotland’s most well loved folkloric beings, and for good reason too, for their beautiful eyes and gentle nature have captured our imaginations, and hearts, for centuries. 

In this episode Jenny dives into the world of the seal-folk, their lives both above the surface and below, their many origin stories, and the story of The MacCodrum’s of the Seals.
