My late grandfather would recount the tale of the merfolk that basked in the sun, on rocks that stretch out to the sea, beyond Turnberry Lighthouse.
Their mesmerizing singing captured the heart of many an Ayrshire lad and lassie.

#Celtic #SeaFolkSaturday: The #each-uisge is a water spirit in #Scottish folklore, known as the each-uisce (anglicized as aughisky or ech-ushkya) in #Ireland and cabyll-ushtey on the #IsleOfMan. This supernatural water horse found in the #ScottishHighlands is similar to the kelpie but far more vicious. It has been described as `perhaps the fiercest and most dangerous of all the water-horses` by the folklorist Katharine Briggs. Often mistaken for the kelpie (which inhabits streams and rivers), the each-uisge lives in the sea, sea lochs, and fresh water lochs. The #each-uisge is a shape-shifter, disguising itself as a fine horse, pony, a handsome man or an enormous bird such as a boobrie. The each-uisge also has a particular desire for human women.

#SeafolkSaturday According to an Irish medieval tale, Ó Corra's sons sailed in a "currach" through many islands. Finally they arrived at Rinde Espáine ('Point of Hispania', maybe Estaca de Bares, the northernmost point of #Galicia), where they founded a Christian community.
