1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 If we were to say that today’s episode is about a beautiful woman/sea creature who was tricked to live a life ashore and be potentially cursed for the rest of their life, we'd forgive you for thinking we're talking about mermaids. But not quite! Ellie is turning to Scottish folklore to tell us a story about Selkies - mythological seal creatures who shed their skin on land to take on human form. --- Where to Find Us:&amp;nbsp; Head to our website, learnaboutpod.com, to read the full episode notes and see a list of links and resources used to research this episode.
