In the same vein as the last episode on the Brahan Seer, we dive into some clan folklore. This time we're with the MacLeods and their Fairy Flag. Was it a gift to a chief from a fairy lover or a souvenir from the Crusades? Has it really saved MacLeod lives in battle? This is the first of a two-part project. Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify as well.
