Episode 103 The Magical Fairy Flag of the MacLeods

In the same vein as the last episode on the Brahan Seer, we dive into some clan folklore.  This time we're with the MacLeods and their Fairy Flag.  Was it a gift to a chief from a fairy lover or a souvenir from the Crusades?  Has it really saved MacLeod lives in battle?  This is the first of a two-part project.  Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify as well.   Sponsor: usakilts.com and their Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCni9cPU0kh5S84aQ-3d_DJA   Sources: Thomas Pennant's account: https://archive.org/details/tourinscotlandvo01penn The MacLeods of Dunvegan: https://archive.org/details/macleodsofdunveg00macl Some stuff on MacLeod genealogy, not so much about the fairy flag: https://web.archive.org/web/20110727052405/http://www.macleodgenealogy.org/Research/Matheson1.html
