Scottish Storytelling and Reviving Highland Culture ~ Dougie MacKay

In this episode, Dougie McKay joins me to explore the power of Scottish storytelling as a living thread connecting us to land, lineage, and the old ones who came before. 

Together, we dive into the role of the Seanachaidh—Gaelic Scotland's traditional story keepers—and how stepping fully into a story's world, rather than simply reciting it, keeps these tales alive across the generations. 

Dougie also shares the beautiful tale "Makers of Dreams," along with his work at the Shieling Project, honoring both the wounds of the Highland Clearances and the resilience of a culture that's finding its way back to the fire.
