Near the serene bay of Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull, a captivating tale has been passed down through the generations. It is a tale as wild and mysterious as the Scottish Highlands themselves. The tale is that of the Selkie of Tobermory Bay. A Selkie, according to Scottish folklore, is a mythical creature that is a seal in water but has the ability to shed its skin and turn into a human on land. One day, a charming and handsome young man appeared in Tobermory. He was kind, gentle, and had an enthralling aura of mystery around him. He quickly fell in love with a beautiful local maiden, and she with him. They married and had two children, living in harmony and happiness. However, the man would often gaze longingly at the sea, a sorrowful expression on his face. One day, the man disappeared, leaving his family behind. Heartbroken, the woman and her children searched high and low for their beloved but found no trace. As time wore on, the woman discovered a seal skin hidden in the cupboard of their home. Realization dawned upon her; her husband was a Selkie and had returned to the sea. From then on, every time seals were spotted near the bay, locals would whisper that it might be the Selkie, swimming close to shore to catch a glimpse of his human family. And so, the tale of the Selkie of Tobermory Bay was born, a touching story of transcendent love, encapsulating the mystical charm of Scottish folklore.
