Mixed Bag: Fingal's Cave, Clootie Wells and Dino Footprints

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!

This week Rory is emptying his bag of wee Scottish stories all over Jonny's unsuspecting earholes.

We talk about the amazing and awe-inspiring Fingal's Cave on the island of Staffa and how it was created by an ancient Irish giant dressed as a baby.

Also, in today's mixed bag, is the legends and lore around Scotland's healing Clootie Wells. Not feeling well? Just hang some old laundry on a tree near some water.

And finally we get into the amazing Dinosaur footprints that can be found near Staffin on the Isle of Skye, and the weirdos who don't seem to be impressed by footprints made by giant reptiles millions of years ago.

Get your walking stick and a raincoat because your going on a tour of Scotland with the TDN lads.
