Summary

Enjoy two of the misfit legends found by Jenny & Annie as they researched Scottish coasts and waters. Jenny recalls a story of a strange folktale of a ghost ship from the mysterious Blawhooly Bay in the Scottish borders. Ghosts, ghouls, fairies and sea-beasts anchor their ship one dark night in order to kidnap a midwife. Whereas Annie brings a story from oral history which tells of a mischievous kelpie who lived in Strathnairn, just south of Inverness.Consider supporting Stories of Scotland on Patreon! www.patreon.com/storiesofscotland Get bonus content on Patreon
