Saut & Bluid

Sic the inklin. Skald wins oot o the shaddas lik an eerie mindin.

In nine days of drama, the full smeddum of Scotland's Norse saga unfolds in pithy Scots.

As Guid King Alexander tumbles to his death, a gusty backstory comes to the boil. And at the heart of the crisis is Skald the Ferryman, storyteller of Pittenweem. What is his connection with the Maid of Norway, and the Corryvreckan whirlpool?

This inspired blend of traditional storytelling with historical fiction has been specially commissioned for Scotland's Year of Stories.
