Summary
Our Bedtime Stories are designed to let you drift off with no nagging feeling that you need to listen through to the end. Their purpose is to let you slowly fall into peaceful, restful sleep.
With that in mind, we present actor Brian Cox—Golden Globe winner for his portrayal of media tycoon Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession—returning to his Scottish roots with these evocative tales from the Scottish Highlands.
Brian Cox, born in Dundee, Scotland, has worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theater extensively, where he gained recognition for his portrayal of King Lear. He played supporting roles in Rob Roy (1995) and in Mel Gibson’s Academy Award-winning Braveheart (1995). A winner of two Olivier Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Golden Globe Award, he was appointed to the Order of the British Empire at the rank of Commander.

Better than anything ;)
Perfect for children and adults of all ages. Starts an introduction to Gaelic language, bridges morality and life choices, settles somnambolic meditation. 10/10

Away With The Faeries
Superbly narrated by Brian Cox, it was like he was telling me an informative bedtime story.

Oh the narration!
I really don't much care what it is Mr Cox is narrating. That voice, oh that voice. It is simply magical.
So even the ultra-sceptical I managed to finish this recounting of the gaelic superstition.
Brilliant stuff!
