Amazing skills for storytelling. The creatures you talk about is very simular to our old norse myths about "Nøkken" (the nixie). You are a living commercial for your country and these films really made me interested in the rich Scottish culture and history. You really made me love Scotland and the nature and scenery is just breathtaking. Keep up the good work - love your movies. Greetings from Denmark

@Summer-isnotcool Год назад

I'm a huge fan of Celtic folklore, so I would love to hear more Scottish stories! Especially told by such an excellent storyteller.

This acting is gold

I like comment of you❤🙏

I've heard you can identify a Kelpie by their hair because no matter what form they take they can't fully change their mane. Though, different stories I've heard vary on what the giveaway is. Some say that their mane/hair always has a green tint to it; others say that no matter how long they've been out of the water their hair is always damp. I've also heard some versions where it's not really hair, but rather their mane is made of rushes or some other water plant.

My first exposure to the concept of the Selkie came from a Tom Clancy novel of all places. A character who was a hired assassin took on the name of Selkie, due to it's ability to change forms. I really liked the character and molded several roleplaying chars after her in my late teens/early twenties. Of course as I learned more of the actual myths I realised how poor the portrayal of the creature was in my original exposure, but I have kept a love for the myths.

@escapetherace1943 Год назад

I only ever read the first book. I remember it being good.

@spijkerpoes Год назад

Oh Yeah that's great story telling! Back in the day after walking the WHW I took home two cheaply issued booklets with Celtic and Scottish fairy tales. I was imedeatly gripped as the stories were dark and black and absolutely terrifying. They must still be around somewhere, I'll have to look them up once more.. Cheers and thanks, abfab dozi!!

@layotheleprechaun Год назад

A great movie about selkie’s is the Irish animation Song of the Sea!

@jtl-en4yx Год назад

More myths and legends videos please!

Waiting for the Fandabi Dozi and Calum's Gaelic version of Mad Max. Mad Malcolm... in theaters 2024.

@camillebrouzes288 Год назад

You're a man of many skills Tom, I did'nt realize you were such a great storyteller ! Greetings from France

@tx.tactical3165 Год назад

My great grandfather was from Mexico City and when he would visit us for Christmas he would tell us stories about witches that would turn into dogs and birds the size of humans. We would all sit around him eating popcorn and drinking sodas, his stories were scary, sometimes I would have nightmare but I loved every minute of it. My great grandfather was a great story teller, I'm glad he shared all his stories with us, I started writing them down so that way when I have grandkids I can tell them his scary stories... Great video and thanks.

@hilmarheathkliff9511 Год назад

for some reason kelpies and selkies are both present in icelandic folklore. kelpie is called by several names, 2 that i remember are Nennir and Nykur (important!) its physically described to look like a normal gray horse except for having backwards hooves and a cows tail always found uncomfortably close to a deep freshwater. kelpie is less aggressive but is instead very cunning in icelandic myths. Selkie is unchanged, sometimes genuinely in love with a human, sometimes seeking vengence.

@JessPoetics178 Год назад

That's probably because of Irish and Scottish slaves that viking warriors took to Iceland. There's a bit of Icelandic folklore that's a blend of old Norse and Celtic myths. I'm not surprised to hear that both Kelpies and Selkies are in some stories of Icelandic folklore.

@jameshudak4514 Год назад

Would love to see more ancient Scottish myths and legends. Top quality acting as always!

@cerberus6654 Год назад

That was fascinating Tom! You're a really great raconteur. I can imagine you in the laird's hall 1,000 years ago keeping all the folk enthralled on a dark knight, everyone a bit dim in the smoke from a huge peat fire. And you, maybe with a wee harp too. Aye, a harp. That works.

@martybartfast1 Год назад

I love the diverse content. It makes the experience you give us more emersive. When I was young; and there was no internet, dinosaurs roaming; I had a CD90 audio tape of folk tales. The Fairy Flag of Dunvegan, Arthurs' Treasure and Cap of Rushes. I'd listen to it over and over whilst painting lead elves and orcs, or Judge Dredd figures. Now with many careers behind me, I see the connections between stories, how they adapt in oral traditions, how the tropes and motifs can show anthropological data. It's fascinating to see how we still structure our societies according to our fables and myths. Anyways... I thank you for your Telling, nice delivery... you are multi talented indeed Sir! m out

@melissarmt7330 Год назад

@annitownsley8984 Год назад

You are living my dream. I’m Scottish, but grew up in care and live below the poverty line. I love that you are living your dreams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ❤

@shannonl1328 Год назад

Kelpies are damn terrifying!!! So good, Tom, thank you!!!!

@mromero675 Год назад

Great video, really enjoyed this one, always been terrified of Selkies, not sure why......

@repeatdefender6032 Год назад

“Don’t ask me how, but it did”… That gave me a good chuckle 😆. Love the stories!

@territorywar2806 Год назад

Moral of the story? Do not befriend strangers, Do not let them in on your land/home. Family above everything else.

@Sionnach1601 Год назад

Beautiful, wonderful and rich. You would make a fine Seanchaí a chara. I must show my 8 yo this now as he is absolutely ravenous for ancient myths of our peoples. Slán ón Éirinn 💚

I watch a lot of channels and know a lot of yourubers but personally I am very impressed, very funny and especially I love his outfit. support the spirit of youtuber, the spirit of blogger.

@loribenton5975 Год назад

This was fun, Tom. Hope you'll tell more Scottish stories sometime. And thank you for the setting you chose for the second one. It's a near dead ringer for the setting I've been trying to create for a scene in a story I'm writing. It's as close as if I'd asked you to go out and find such a place.

@brunoboaz7656 Год назад

Well, I was greatly entertained by both stories but I found the Kelpie story to be a great cautionary tale to be sure! Well done, Old Son!!!

@Corey_Lee_Slater Год назад

Icing on cake. Thanks for sharing. -On behalf of those who can't afford to give, a MASSIVE THANKS!!! to your patrons as well.

More stories, Tom. I love the way you say and act out the stories.

@smeastwest Год назад

@allano937 Год назад

I have never heard these stories before but heard others about both these creatures. The one I heard of the Selkie was it had to remove it's seal skin to transform into human form. It also needed it's seal skin to return to the sea. A fisherman fell in love with a selkie that visited him often and to stop his new very beautiful girlfriend from leaving he stole her sealskin and hid it. Making her In effect a prisoner on land. After sometime and while he was out fishing she found her seal skin and escaped. In the stories I learned of Kelpies , they usally take the form of a beautiful horse which entices people to try and ride the horse. The people become stuck to the horse which then heads into the water and drowning it's victim. There are many tales that follow that format.

Tom needs to make a podcast i would listen to it for hours

@fireman3857 Год назад

@kristenvincent3622 Год назад

I’ve read the story of Donald before but not the Shieling and Kelpie story. But 100’s of years later and yet, and teenagers are still the same! Don’t piss off any seals and stay away from haunted lochens… lol lovely PSA.

@Johnpaul-re8si Год назад

Great and fun video!! Very entertaining!! I listen to your stories while sitting in New York traffic! I saw some shapeshifters there 😂

@sharonkaczorowski8690 Год назад

As I’ve said in another comment, the Scots who moved to East Texas and other parts of the South had a big influence on the culture. Ghost stories were very big in my childhood, including one about an ancestor who killed a soldier to protect her milk cow. Supposedly if I go to where she lived he will show up and shout “we’re’ s my milk!” Very scary at age 6…pretty funny now. Love Silkie stories.

@sharonkaczorowski8690 Год назад

Seal wife stories crop up in every culture where seals are an important part of their lives.

@hollish196 Год назад

@mpccenturion Год назад

Creatures - mythology - is truth that no one else saw! Writing from Canada, Atlantic Canada. 1976 - I met a sasquatch - I was a 250# - 6 ft - hairy big guy. At 1900 hrs - while fishing - 30 yds off shore -I was fishing bass -- I had a quatch yell at me, about 50 yds from me, never saw the beast - but For the last 45 yrs - I know it was - what I say. --- ps - GOSH iit is beautiful there! Summer place here is a 25 mile lake. deep - granite rock the size of houses and buses. Thank YOU SIR!

@sharonkaczorowski8690 Год назад

More stories please…and thank you once again for bringing back happy childhood memories.

@sharonkaczorowski8690 Год назад

I love these stories across cultures about children who don’t listen and parents who don’t explain enough and the monsters who teach them a very nasty lesson! Not all end with rescue of the children. Love the dismembered kelpie…new story for me!

@kazikmajster5650 Год назад

Would you consider doing seminars there?Some of the proceeds could go to help land preservation. I'd love to learn the quater staff, using the staff as a survival tool, hearing more Scottish folklore and try the food!If it's reasonable, I'd go there for a couple weeks!
