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.

Got this shortly after it appeared in fall of 21, my second one when starting to acquire “sleep stories”. It was over a year before I think I had heard all of the book but never fully from start to finish….which for me, qualified it as the very point of a go to sleep story.

Loved it. Enjoyed what I heard before I fell asleep. And listened to it again after waking to get the full story

Great Story

Interesting with good Voice, the telling of information was unknown for some of it. The subjects wandered a bit and the ending was abrupt and left you feeling like there was still more to come. I listened to the Audio 4 times and still experienced the same feelings.
