The Story of Auslag: A Saga from Unst
Tales, Tongues and Trails
(Sun 23 Oct: 6pm)
Discover a Shetland story dating back to the 800s, steeped in both historic truth and elements of myth. A Jarl’s daughter, Auslag was an outcast who soon became one of the most powerful figures in Unst, her home island. Based on Andrew T. Cluness’ Trouble With Trolls, Shetland storyteller Marjolein Robertson brings Auslag’s story to life with the rugged richness of Shetlandic language and landscape
