[@Davlavi]

Thanks for sharing.

[@claudiavh2602]

Well, that took a turn 😂

I was having a bad day, but then I saw a new Scottish folklore/mythology video by Liath Wolf and instantly felt better. Can't wait to visit old friends and family in Scotland this summer.

Thanks for watching 😊

[@AScottishOdyssey]

Loving this.

[@osakarose5612]

Well, Jock certainly wasn't the brightest bulb in the box. 🤣

[@resourcedragon]

I did feel that his mother had failed to teach him even the most rudimentary life skills.

I listened to the doric version first & loved it!

[@gleann_cuilinn]

I watched the Doric version before this, it was interesting to me as a linguist. Like how they say "fit" meaning "what". Fit are ye daen, Jock!

[@connorricketts1323]

thank you for a great tale

[@lorifromtemeculaca426]

This one cleared up some details for me, thank you!

I love this story! I kind of reminds me of a folk tale from North East India where a foolish son in law, after a serious of misadventures brought in by his foolishness, finds himself sleeping among the sheep wrapped in a fleece. In the night a group of thieves try to steal him and he startles them by begging them to pull his butt out of the water while they're crossing the river. It's different in the details, but it's got the same sense of humor.

It is a bank holiday long weekend coming up ( Canada) and this funny tale was a great start to it! Thanks so much!

[@DonP_is_lostagain]

Just as good hearing the second time around. 😊

[@joanhoffman3702]

There are similar tales around the world, proving that foolishness knows no boundaries!

[@pentegarn1]

Excellent idea. I don't understand Doric.....but I'm gunna try my best.

[@LiathWolf]

Give it a go 😊

[@heatherturner2366]

Love these stories

[@resourcedragon]

Poor Jock - he was labelled as lazy but carrying a peddler's pack or plough socks or caring for horses or cows all day is hard yakka. His mother appears to have been one of the ones calling him names but not teaching him even rudimentary life skills. So, Jock may not have been the sharpest tool in the shed but he does seem to have been set up for failure.

[@michaelrooney1454]

This was a good tale. Poor Jock 😅

[@classicambo9781]

Rather morbid. Well told.
