The Sound of Many Waters - A...

Robin A. Crawford

With the widest catchment area of any river in Britain, the Tay drains much of the lower Highlands of Scotland. A vast network of lochs and smaller bodies of water feed the Isla, Garry, Tummel, Almond and Earn, which all flow into this mighty river.
As Robin Crawford walks along the banks of the Tay, we delve into the history of this landscape and his personal connection with it, from hill walks with friends into the mountains of the Tay's source to his student days in Dundee, where the Tay eventually spills out into the North Sea.
Along the route we dip into the river's story: the gold-panners on the river Cononish, the Earthquake House outside Comrie, Beatrix Potter's holiday home near Dunkeld. Throughout, the river is our constant companion, connecting the small moments on which events turn and lives are changed forever.

The Tales of Odin - Exploring...

Odessa Nightshade

Odin, the Allfather, stands at the heart of Norse mythology as the ruler of Asgard and the most revered of the Aesir gods. His presence looms over the myths, guiding fate through wisdom, war, and magic. Unlike many deities who rule with absolute power, Odin is a seeker—forever chasing knowledge, sacrificing for wisdom, and embracing the harsh realities of destiny. His relentless pursuit of understanding, even at great personal cost, defines his role as a sovereign figure in Norse tradition.
One of the defining aspects of Odin's character is his thirst for wisdom. Unlike other gods who rely on brute strength or trickery, Odin seeks knowledge from the farthest reaches of the cosmos. He surrenders an eye at Mimir’s well to glimpse the secrets of the universe, proving that true power comes not from force but from insight. His self-imposed suffering on the World Tree, Yggdrasil, where he hangs for nine days and nights to uncover the runes, further exemplifies his willingness to endure hardship for enlightenment. These sacrifices are not acts of desperation but a calculated investment in his dominion. To rule effectively, Odin understands that he must possess knowledge beyond that of gods and mortals alike.
While wisdom is his greatest pursuit, Odin is also a god of war. Unlike Thor, who thrives in battle with sheer might, Odin’s approach is more strategic. He governs over Valhalla, where fallen warriors, the Einherjar, prepare for Ragnarok. His connection to war is not merely about bloodshed but about the honor and destiny of those who fight. He chooses the slain, sending the Valkyries to collect souls for the final battle. Yet, Odin is not a god who fights on impulse. His understanding of fate informs his actions, and every decision he makes is in preparation for the ultimate conflict.
