ROWAN MORRISON
STORY SPINNER & WORD WEAVER
RECORDINGS
In Scotland there is an ancient tradition of telling stories, eye to eye, mind to mind and heart to heart. There is no doubt that this is the way they should be told. For this is when the magic happens. When they come alive in the soul of the listener.
Like the tellers of old, I had always resisted making recordings but the need to keep the old folktales alive in these 'unprecedented times' won the battle. I have a YouTube channel that hosts more of my recordings
and also a profile on Sound Cloud https://soundcloud.com/rowan-morrison
I hope you enjoy listening to them and subscribe to them for new recordings.
TWO SWANS ON THE LOCH
TWO SWANS ON THE LOCH
This is a traditional folktale that was translated from Gaelic to English by a wonderful storyteller called George W Macpherson from the Isle of Skye. It has long been a favourite of mine and was the first story I told on stage at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh.
THE DREAM MAKERS
THE DREAM MAKERS
Another of my favourites from Skye. A magical island that is alive with folktale and lore. This story is part of the ancient landscape of the Cuchullins and is almost as dramatic as they are. If you ever wondered where dreams come from, this one is for you!

"Rowan Morrison doesn't just tell a story. She becomes the story and she weaves her listeners into the magic of that." (Ursula Aerts)
