Annie and Jenny explore the Shetlandic legends of the trows, wee fairy folks who become especially active during the season of Yule. We explore how Shetlanders have interacted with the trow folk over the past few centuries, and question ‘are there any trows left?’ What happens when people stop believing in trows, and where do the trows go?Why are trows so interested in drinking and merriment over the winter season?​​You can support Stories of Scotland on Patreon! www.patreon.com/storiesofscotlandReferences on the episode page of www.storiesofscotland.com.
