“Orkney lies at a cultural crossroads between Scandinavia and the Celtic worlds, and the folktales reflect that,” shares Orcadian storyteller Tom Muir.
In this video he recounts the story of Assipattle, the lazy youngest son of a hard-working farmer, and his battle with a gigantic sea serpent known as the Stoorworm to win the hand of a beautiful princess.
