| 6/14/26 |  56. The Loch Ness Monster and St Columba | It’s time for a monster hunt! The Loch Ness Monster is perhaps the most famous Scot in the world, yet despite her renown she’s a very shy girl. The vast majority of sightings come from after the 1933 boom, when Nessie went global, yet the very first ever recorded sighting of her is in 565 CE, when St Columba stumbled across a group of terrified Picts on the shore of Loch Ness.In this episode Jenny tells the tale of Columba, his mission to convert the Picts to christianity, the very first ever sighting of The Loch Ness Monster, and a lovely little kelpie tale at the end!Visit the official Loch Ness Monster sightings registerFollow The Scottish Folklore Podcast on InstagramVisit the website and view this episode’s Interactive MapExplore all the folklore covered in the podcast so far on the Folklore MapSupport Jenny as she makes the show by joining the Patreon Hosted on Acast.

| 10/19/25 |  42. Return From the Dead: Witches, Warlocks, and The Water of Life | What happens when death is not final? In Scottish folklore people returning from the dead is not only rare, but also, as we find out in this episode, absolutely terrifying. The three tales Jenny tells make up a spooky sandwich of scary stories: the first, ‘A Dead Wife Among the Fairies’ comes from North Ronaldsay on Orkney, the second, ‘The Water or Life’ comes from the shores of Loch Fyne, and the third, ‘Wizard Rising After Death’ comes from the remote hills of Ross-shire. But beware, these tales are not for the faint of heart, so listen at your own peril!Follow The Scottish Folklore Podcast on InstagramVisit the website and view the interactive mapSupport Jenny as she makes the show by joining the Patreon Hosted on Acast.

| 10/12/25 |  41. Doppelgangers & The Second Sight | In Scotland, to see your doppelganger is not good news.

Secondly, it means you’re most likely gonna die soon.In Scottish folklore, these uncanny supernatural doubles are called fetches, or taibhse, and eerie tales that swirl around their appearances can be found all over the country. In this episode, Jenny tells of fetches in Skye, Lewis, and Galloway, as well as the Aberdeenshire tale 'Thrummy Cap: A Legend of the Castle of Fiddes.'Follow The Scottish Folklore Podcast on InstagramVisit the website and view the interactive mapSupport Jenny as she makes the show by joining the Patreon Hosted on Acast.
