A beautiful serious side of this lovely young woman I've not seen before. Love it.
You’re a shame of a nation.
‘Really enjoyed sharing a look at herbs and a story from the film, but also loved watching it and finding out about all the incredible green ventures going on within Edinburgh, thank you Donald and Sandy for making it!’
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the film last night at the Scottish Storytelling centre, well done for the film.’
Commission? Who paid for that
Get cultured.
your mam

My last name is Edminsten, but it was spelled "Edmiston" as well, only 2 generations back. I found this video by simply typing my last name in out of curiosity! Who knows, maybe we're distantly related!
Excellent storytelling!
Would like again if I could. Love when something reminds me of this story and I come back here to hear it again.

A wonderful story. I'm sitting here listening, looking out at a stormy October sky and the mood is so fitting. Well told Tom Muir. Thank you.
I did the song 'Twa Corbies" with David Campbell in the Library of Rotterdam, I think it was 1996
Well done!! Tapadh leibh!
I never knew about Selkie Until I heard a mermaid singing about them. Here's the video czcams.com/video/-kZct3JyG1o/video.html
What a great storyteller!
HahahhaahhahahHhahHahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahhzhzhzhzhahahhahahahaha
4 questions: 1. Since the past is done and therefore unchangeable, then how exactly does someone imagine a different 'past' and why ? 2. Exactly who was it who ""Specially commissioned for SISF 2021" this programme, and why?. 3. Why is this still spilling over into the 2022 programme since it was the 'theme' for last year's programme? 4. How does this reflect TRADITIONAL storytelling? Comment: This sounds more like another act of historical deconstructionist 'revisionism' that is plundering, wrecking and distorting our national oral literary heritage, being sponsored by the new Woke political agenda. If you disagree then please do let me know.
Well done ! Fantastic
Have you ever heard of the seal buried in a open grave in Castletown in Caithness. Apparently it had a human face
at around 3:05 you mention that the Bible was originally written in Latin, that is not correct. The NT was written in Greek.
Do you have a link to a website with the online events details ?
Every night before bedtime, when my daughter says, "I love you daddy!" I reply, "I love you more than salt, my angel". Thank you for helping me explain to my wife what I actually meant.
Proud to be of Westray stock...
Made me cry...
Thank you for sharing. This is great!!!
Wow. I really enjoyed listen Tom telling this story. I visited Orkney 30 yrs ago and hoping to travel there again after this pandemic is over.
The best!
Oh, what a brutal tale! But I believe that... All that poor, sad woman ever need to do In place of cruel thoughts, wish for kind ones instead Then a wish to love her husband, pure and true Return the last, for now, she'll not need him dead! (Such answers one finds if they just use their head) ;-)
Glad I watched this. Living story telling indeed.
To hear the Scottish folklore is cool. To hear it told by a Scottish native, makes it SO much cooler!
This was an awesome performance - watched it live and glad I can visit the performance again online
Fantastic story👏🏼

Small correction: Fin's father was named 'Cumhall' pronounced Coo-al or 'Coul' in its anglosied spelling. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fionn_mac_Cumhaill
Wonderful deep story and how this storyteller tells it is amazing. You can tell he really has experience in the art and depth in his knowledge in lore. Thank you for uploading.
Thank You. Awesome
I love hearing stories from this man, I wish there were more on here. He has a great talent, for story telling 💖
lovely seeing David performing this story - I had the good fortune of meeting him out near Glenuig a few weeks back and got to share some tales and some whiskey
Beautiful telling
Weird. The video I watched just prior to this was Mr. Campbell telling a story about Burke and Hare. I discovered Mr. Muir just yester eve while searching Tam Lin. That prestation was "The Selkie" The story was powerful and well told. This story I found less so. The light jokes, to me, disrupted the flow of the story. And are you saying, "a spay man" for wizard? It would be interesting to see these two story tellers do a shared telling. And gentlemen... CDs!
Thanks for your comments on the story, some enjoy the humorous breaks to lighten the dark tale but many versions keep it dark, in this instance not so as it was being pitched to Secondary Schools for engagement. Spayman (Spaman) is a Scots word for a man who can predict the future (seer, prophet). You can contact Tom Muir and David Campbell directly to find out more about their storytelling and public appearances using the Directory of Storytellers here: www.storytellingforum.co.uk/home/book-a-storyteller/ Both men will be part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival in October - details of that programme coming soon to www.sisf.org.uk
@@ScottishStorytellingCentreEd Isn't "spay" also a river?
@@soslothful There's the The River Spey - yes - in the northeast of Scotland. There's also Spay, Sarthe in France and Spay, Germany
Is it historically true Hare betrayed Burke? Ans he got away, "scot free" said by a Scotsman. Is there a connection between the phrase and Scottish law?
Hi Soslothful : There has been the suggestion that Burke had had enough and wanted to be caught by historians as well as them also speculating Hare was the more sinister of the two. Burke was hanged for murdering 16 men, women and children while Hare was given immunity from prosecution after testifying against his partner in crime. “scot” in the case of "scot free" is from the Old Norse word “skot” meaning “payment” or “contribution”. In English, “scot” initially just meant “tax” so the phrase scot free was first used in reference to civic tax levies., and is not connected to Scottish law.
@@ScottishStorytellingCentreEdSo to get away, "scot free" is to have avoided paying this tax?
@@soslothful believe it is being used in the general sense in this story of modern "meaning" of to get away with it - history of the phrase: www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/scot-free.html
@@ScottishStorytellingCentreEdThanks! This is an excellent site. Except it will now absorb a lot of my time... fun facts you know.
That was deeply engaging. To have been at the telling would have been quite an experience. Is this tale and others available on CD?
Thanks for your lovely comment, which we'll share with Tom - unfortunately we do not have Tom on any audio CD collections, but he has published this story in various forms - this version comes from 'Tales on the Tongue' which is available through the Scottish Storytelling Centre's bookshop: www.scottishstorytellingcentre.com/bookshop/ - and Tom has also published 'The Mermaid Bride and Other Orkney Folk Tales' books.google.co.uk/books?id=TBANPwAACAAJ&dq=inauthor:%22Tom+Muir%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjD98GAy97iAhWlQxUIHVaRAYoQ6AEIMzAC and 'Orkeny Folk Tales' books.google.co.uk/books?id=XTkTDQAAQBAJ&dq=inauthor:%22Tom+Muir%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjD98GAy97iAhWlQxUIHVaRAYoQ6AEIKjAA

David Campbell and a story, what more could a wee sad lassie need when she has a sword in the stone? My compliments to my favorite storyteller, aye and to sit by his side at a fire. Bonnie, indeed.
"Dear God, she said"...aye and he's a bonnie storyteller and a bonnie fine lad, he be.
"Some say", aye and a wee bonnie storyteller, you be. May Jesse Scott and her granddaughter look upon your stories and whisper some of their own. And there they rest...Let sleeping angels sing!
Have passed on your comment to David :)
@@ScottishStorytellingCentreEd Thank you, and I will be posting this on our Reddit, MBTI RadioSTation.

What a delight to discover this video. Wonderful telling David.
A well told tale. Tapadh leibh.
