Adventure Shetland - The Podcast
Adventure Shetland provides guided tours, walks and hikes around Shetland - a group of islands north of Scotland and west of Norway. On this podcast, I tell stories from Shetland history and folklore, give travel advice for the islands, talk about archaeology, retell Viking sagas, and give an introduction to my homeland for those who may not be familiar with this northern archipelago.

Goturm the Dane - Patreon Special
We're heading further into winter in Shetland, which means many folk around the isles are getting deeper into their preparations for Up Helly Aa.
This festival has evolved into a celebration of our islands' Viking heritage, and you can learn more about it here:

With that in mind, I thought telling this Viking story from Unst - the Tale of Goturm the Dane - would be fun.
This was originally recorded for our supporters on Patreon, which you can find out more about here:
