No myth. . Billy Boyd's in the barn
AN EAST Lothian barn was the unlikely venue for a high-profile orchestral concert celebrating a great Scottish myth.
The barn at the Skateraw Foundation, near Dunbar, played host to the Orchestra of the Scottish Opera Production of Misterstourworm and the Kelpie's Gift, which featured Hollywood sensation Billy Boyd as narrator.
The project, played out last night in front of 400 school children, featured the story of the monster as long as Scotland, whose humps created the west coast islands when he died.
Boyd, who starred in the film Lord of the Rings, said: "Misterstourworm and the Kelpie's Gift is a magical and exciting tale for kids of all ages."
