#ScribesAndMakers 2. Are there any legends or folk tales from the area you live now?

There are lots of legends and folk tales from the area where I live. The best known one is that if you spend the night on Cader Idris, our local mountain, you will wake in the morning either mad or a poet. I haven't put this to the test myself though.

A few years ago I made a video about some of the old legends. It's in Welsh, but there are English subtitles.
