55. The Fairy Folk of Skye
Om avsnittet
The Isle of Skye is home to not only some of the most enchanting views in the world, but also a whole host of fairies!
In this episode Jenny visits some of these fairies in their homes, first at the fairy knoll of An Sidhean just south of Broadford and then at the ancient iron age brochs of Dun Borve, Dun Garsin and Dun Taimh - each one with its own tale of the little people and their run ins with us pesky humans!
From ancient forts to mighty castles, she then travels to Dunvegan Castle, the seat of the MacLeods, and tells the tale of one of the clan’s most prized possessions: the fairy flag of Dunvegan!
Curses, blessings, and a whole herd of coos await!
