Jock and his Mother: Doric Version
Consider supporting me on Patreon: / liathwolf
Today we look at an old Scottish classic, a tale well known in the world and one that can be found hidden in the folklore of many cultures. This tale is almost always recorded or recited in the traditional doric tongue of the northeast, which has a very special place in my heart, so much so that I couldn’t bring my self to forget the words and the cadence of those storytellers who came before me. So, this is the second video, in which I will repeat the tale, how it is supposed to be told, I hope you can enjoy both and learn the true story of Jock and his mother.
