Orkney Folk Tales by Tom Muir
Using ancient tales told by the firesides of the Picts and Vikings, storyteller Tom Muir takes the reader on a magical journey where he reveals how the islands were created from the teeth of a monster, how a giant built lochs and hills in his greed for fertile land, and how the waves are controlled by the hand of a goddess.
TOM MUIR is a professional storyteller who was born in the Orkney Islands on a farm by the sea. In 2025 he was awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours list ‘for services to Orkney folk tales’. He has worked in the field of archaeology and at the Orkney Museum, and appears on TV, radio and magazines.
