| Strange Tales from Scotland's Thin Places, Episode Two: An Up Helly Aa Souvenir | 02 Apr 2020 | 00:24:55 | |
Thomas MacCalman Morton's Strange Tales from Scotland's Thin Places takes you to the parts of Scotland where the barriers between the natural and the supernatural, the earthly and the spiritual, the magically monstrous and the everyday, are thin or barely exist at all. Places where the past mingles with the present, peculiar creatures arise, ghosts and apparitions walk and festivals may represent more than at first may be evident. In An Up Helly Aa Souvenir, Thomas takes you to the side of Shetland and the viking festival of Up Helly Aa which is never mentioned: the obscure, lost rituals of a tiny Shetland community where Up Helly Aa could have meant much more than dressing up as a viking and burning a boat. Much, much more... | |||
| Strange Tales from Scotland's thin Places. Episode One: The White Wife | 29 Feb 2020 | 00:09:34 | |
Thomas MacCalman Morton retells stories from throughout Scotland, all of them centred on the 'thin places', where folklore comes to life, the barriers between the natural and the supernatural vanish, and the paranormal becomes the new normal. Hhosts, apparitions, history impinging on the present, and the magically monstrous making uncanny appearances. Each month a new tale. Episode One takes you on a journey to Unst in Shetland, Scotland's northernmost inhabited island. And the appearances there of the White Wife. Which continue to occur. | |||
