'A Celebration of Darkness' is part of the series A Year in Scotland. This is the December episode.Today's episode is a little different. It consists of five short vignettes that celebrate winter in Scotland. Across three stories, we'll explore Scotland's wintery folklore. We'll hear about the winter goddess Beira and her grip on the seasons, I'll tell you the story of the "Nimble Men" up in the sky, and we dive into stories of the Winter Solstice. I'm also taking you with me on an early morning walk in the Rothiemurchus Forest. And of course, I have lots of practical tips for you, to make the most of a winter trip to Scotland.
