The Stories Behind the Stories #11

Hello all, Hamish Napier here, one of the storytellers for Badenoch Heritage. All of the stories contained within the new Badenoch – The Storylands smartphone app are here on the website now too. Each week I’ll go into a little more detail about the stories themselves: where they came from, where I read them, who I heard them from and a little more background about each one.
