By Shona Cowie
For the last 200 years they’ve kept themselves to themselves but recently, with lockdown and humans quietly stuck in their homes, the beasts have become braver, now they’re back.
For your protection, storyteller Shona Cowie will introduce the most fearsome of these creatures, provide case studies from successful monster evaders such as Granny and wee jamie and will instruct you on the most effective ways to avoid being squashed, trapped in a rock or turned into a nugget.
