Hillsook Weddeen
Part of Edinburgh Tradfest
A rich and beautiful story from Shetland, performed by comedian, storyteller and filmmaker 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.
Born and raised in Shetland to a local man and Dutch mam, Marjolein is a comedian and storyteller. Whilst back at home in Shetland during lockdoon she started telling stories and performing comedy online developing a large following. She also creates content for BBC the Social and BBC Shortstuff and was a regular contributor on BBC Scotland's The People's News.
