Donald MacInley and the Witch of Caisteal Abhail

Scottish Tales and Music

 

A family show

Something is terribly wrong in the village of Sannox on the Isle of Arran: the harvests are poor, the livestock are dying, and the villagers are falling ill...

One day, the farmer Donald MacInley is visited by Roisinn, a fairy from the Sìth, who reveals the cause of all these misfortunes: the evil witch Morag. To save his village, Donald must journey to Caisteal Abhail Castle and confront Morag and her fearsome raven.

Armed with a cloak of invisibility and aided by the island's animals, he must find an eagle's feather, a salmon's egg, and a stag's antlers. Only by bringing these three magical objects together and placing them at the castle gate can the witch be defeated.
