Riding upon their noble steeds, Deirdre and Tickles, Jenny and Annie explore some monster-slaying stories set in medieval Scotland. First, we travel to the glens of Cassley in Sutherland, where a toxic beast has wormed its way into the landscape. Beware, if you are driving the North Coast 500 as you’ll be entering the dangerous territory of the worm! Next, Annie ventures to a wee island on the River Dee in Aberdeenshire, near Braemar, where a strange crocodile creature is causing chaos. Featuring major Kings William the Lion and Malcolm Canmore, we question do monarchs love their monsters?Visit the ‘Sguel / Story: Folktales from the Scottish Highlands' exhibition at the National Library of Scotland at George IV Bridge, Edinburgh now!
