60. Brownies: Hairy Little Household Helpers

Brownies are odd little folkloric spirits who help out around the house purely because they like to. But be warned, they are as easy to please as they are to lose, and tales of their touchiness can be found in every nook and cranny of Scotland!

In this episode Jenny explores some of the many tales of Brownies that can be found in Scotland, as well as what happens when Brownies go bad, before ending on the wonderful tale of The Brownie o’ Ferne-Den.
