scottish folklore

This episode goes into detail about the Scottish Fairies and their very well-organized Seelie and Unseelie faerie courts! This week Lucy and Karen discuss why one is only slightly the lesser of two VERY big evils and why they are just like the mean girls but of the faerie realm!! If there's one thing you need to take away from this episode it's this: Don’t fuck with the faeries... SERIOUSLY!

Episode discusses the Loch Ness monster! The question is...is she a time-traveling dinosaur?  A dragon with fire-eyes?? A kelpie? Or just some boring piece of floating wood?! This week lucy delves deep into the origins and tales of Nessie, from ancient Pictish carvings to elaborate and sometimes hilarious hoaxes and everything in between! One thing is certain if you thought you knew all the Nessie stories, think again!

Thanks to Hollywood movies, creepy written fiction novels and DC Comics, everyone has heard of the infamous Banshee by now! The word conjures up images of an evil old woman, flying through the air, screeching her lungs out with blood-red eyes and a ghastly expression on her skeletal face! 

Well in today's podcast episode Karen will be breaking down the differences between the classic Irish banshee and her Scottish, lesser-known but no less interesting cousins: the Bean Nighe and the Caoineag (or Caointeach). 

Pour yourself a dram of whisky and getting ready to bust a gut because we are covering a HUGE range of Scottish topics today from spooky death omens to some of the most random and hilarious fae creature details you've ever heard!! 

We also cover historical events like the Glencoe Massacre and the Battle of Culloden and oh-so-much more!! You never know JUST what you'll learn about by listening but we sure hope you have fun with us!

Today's 6th Episode of the 1Scot1Not podcast discusses Changelings.  What is a Changeling? It is a fairy that has been switched with a living human who has been stolen by the fairies!! Aaaaaah!!! It turns out there were many reasons the fairies wanted to abduct a perfectly healthy human baby or young mother and replace it with one of their own and you'll be so surprised when you find out why! In this episode, Lucy explains the horrifying, heartbreaking and sometimes even hilarious meanings behind both the fairy AND human side of so many infamous Changeling stories...
