The majestic unicorn’s reputation has been somewhat sparkle-ified over the last few decades, but this hasn’t always been the case! There was once a time when the unicorn symbolised far more than a whimsical horse with a horn, and in this episode we find out how it came to be, what it truly represents, and why it’s the perfect pick for Scotland’s national animal.So listen in and enjoy as Jenny tells the tale of ‘The Coming of the Unicorn’ to Scotland, as well as exploring Skye’s very own take on the Unicorn, the Biasd na Srogaig.Follow The Scottish Folklore Podcast on InstagramVisit the website and view the interactive mapSupport Jenny as she makes the show by joining the Patreon Hosted on Acast.
