The Mermaid Bride and other Orkney Folk Tales

Dug out my old Orkney folk lore book from the attic and read it yesterday. Concentrated mostly on the stories from the sea. Read about the finfolk, mermaids, selkies, and the mester stoorworm. Im quite interested in the finfolks homes, Hether Blether and Hildaland which are islands that only appear to the human eye when its very misty. One of the islands was taken over by humans, and is now called Eynhallow. Its situated between the mainland and Rousay but unfortunately you cant get their unless you have your own boat. Also read about the finfolks home under the sea where they live during the winter - Finfolkaheem. The houses are built of coral, bright seaweed is planted instead of flowers, and there is always merry dancers (northern lights, arora borealis). Will write more about the creatures of the sea another day, might post some stories up.
