about

The Witch of Nuide (pronounced ‘nude’, tee hee) was the very first story that I recorded for the ‘Badenoch The Storylands’ project for Badenoch Heritage. I expanded and elaborated on a tale from a really old out-of-print book Badenoch Stories complied from a series of stories collected and published in the Badenoch newspaper by a Malcolm MacPherson over a hundred or so years ago. My own Badenoch The Storylands’ series grew to 20 stories all in all - some 50 minutes long! While researching these during lockdown I would sit down at my desk each day to ‘roam the landscape’ of Badenoch on a daily basis in my mind, exploring online heritage maps from the National Library of Scotland (handily overlayed with satellite images) and leaf through lots of old local heritage books. As lockdown eased it was fascinating to visit these places for the first time - they were always wildly different to what I had imagined - always much, much bigger and more complex than I had originally perceived from the maps.
