 | | A story is told of an inhabitant of Unst, who, in walking on the sandy margin of a voe, saw a number of mermen and mermaids dancing by moonlight, and several sealskins strewed beside them on the ground. |
 | | Beautiful mermaids, enormous sea dragons and the dreaded kraken, a many-armed monster which could easily drag a ship and its crew to a watery grave. |
 | | As for mermaids, it seems that those long-ago sailors were confused by the swimming figures of graceful porpoises, manatees, large schools of fish near the surface, or long clumps of seaweed. |
