House of Legends: World Myths & Legends

Episode 33: Taming the Kelpie

December 10, 2019 • Daniel Allison

This week's story is from Scotland. It's a tale of the kelpie, one of our most famous and fascinating otherworld creatures. I heard it from Ian Stephen, a storyteller from the Isle of Lewis, and have been telling it a lot in performance recently.
