Welcome fellow folklorists!

Welcome to the Folklore & Ethnology Students' Blog - this is another strand of the Elphinstone Institute Graduate Student Folklore Forum, but being a blog, we can display photos, You-Tube movies and the like.

This isn't exclusively for students, we're happy to share the blog with academics, researchers, and amateur enthusiasts. Please leave comments, but be aware that they are moderated. No spammers, please!

Foklore comes in many forms - song, story, material, tradition, superstition, belief, charm, urban legend, etc, and this Gaelic proverb sums up our discipline nicely:

Is iomadh rud a chi an duine a bitheas fada beo -
Many's the thing a man will see if he lives long enough!


Best wishes,
FJ - Forum & Blog Admin
