Welcome back to The Folklore Scotland Podcast! We took a brief hiatus last time but we’re back with 3 fantastic stories about ghostly white ladies. 

A couple of notes:
- Please excuse the email notifications picked up by the mic! 
- Rebecca would also like to correct her use of ‘Chiron’ with ‘Charon’ 

We’ll be exploring the ghostly ladies from Dundee, St. Andrews and Broughty Ferry with hosts this week Rebecca, Roisin and Mila. 
David, Graeme and Linley have also joined us this week for their insights!  

Big thanks once again to Linley for bringing the White Lady to life with her stunning artwork!

The Farmer of Auchriachan | Campfire Tales

Welcome to the first instalment of the Folklore Scotland Podcast! This week we will be looking at the Winter Solstice. We will be exploring stone circles, rebirth and reincarnation, the role of plants and nature in the solstice and what the solstice means to other countries. 
Hosting the show this time we have David White, Linley Barba, Mila Georgieva and Rebecca Brown. Behind the scenes, Linley has also provided us with the wonderful cover art and music for the episode, Rebecca has edited the podcast and Roisin McCrimmon has been our little research elf. While we have had some teething issues with one of our microphones, we still think it’s a pretty great show so we hope you enjoy.

Happy Burns Night! To celebrate Scotland's National Bard, this episode we're talking all things Rabbie Burns: the man himself, the celebration held in his honour, the mysterious Haggis, and Tam O'Shanter.

Hosting the show this time we have David White, Rebecca Brown, Roisin McCrimmon,  Mila Georgieva and our special guest, Bethany Smith. The artwork for this episode is by Linley Barba who also provided the harp music.
