I learn today that Silkies can be summoned by tears on the tide or by "certain songs."
Which songs?

Think my favortite bit of folk-lore is the washer(s) by the ford. Or is it bridge? Proper chilling.
I reckon Ubergeekian will be fighting the Selkies off with a stick with that little selection.
I'll try "Lu-seal" by Chick Berry, next time I'm in tartan waters. Wonder if Rick Stein has a good recepie for Selkie?
