"Old Man of Lochnagar"

Do you remember "Old Man of Lochnagar" ? ... a children's story written and narrated by Prince Charles kilted.

Anyone have a link to it on the web ?

This BBC production runs only 20 minutes and tells the adventures of an old man who lives in a cave near the Loch of Lochnagar in the Scottish highlanders (near Balmoral).

The story involves ticklish eagles, a grouse who repels visitor, underwater haggis who revolve as they swim, and the Gorms, the tiny people of that land.


Best,

Robert

Captmac has a bunch of old Scottish books of children's stories, so as soon as he gets fully awake, he will look gor you. If he has it, we'll scan it to you. How's that?
