A rich and beautiful story from Shetland, performed by comedian and storyteller Marjolein Robertson. The story of the Hillsook Weddeen (Hillswick Wedding) is one of Shetland's best folktales. It takes the listener back to life in Shetland in the late 1800s, exploring the crofting, fishing and other traditions, yet there is more to this story than meets the eye as through it we meet the trows, a creature of Shetland folklore and with them we go into their world.
