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

Which songs?

" wull ye know cum bak again ? "

"Seal You Later, Alligator", by Bill Haley and the Comets?

"Seal Meet Again", by Vera Lynn?

"A-Wassealing We Will Go", traditional English?

"Seal Be Coming Round the Mountain (When She Comes)", traditional American?

"Sealong, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodnight", by Rogers & Hammerstein?

i have nevr had any trouble with Selkies (note sp.) but I hav had a couple of run-ins with the Blue Men of Shiant. Vicious, relentless barstewards.

Although I've heard since the coallition they're more like pink men!

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?
