Scottish Traditional Storytelling Festivalposted 01/10 by josiah.lockhart After a conversation yesterday afternoon about Scottish identity and the arts I was informed about the Scottish Storytelling Festival coming next month to the Scottish Storytelling Centre (as well as village halls around the country). What I thought was primarily a Scottish storytelling event is showcasing Scotish myths/histories along side those of its earliest immigrants/emmegrants (Norway, Iceland, Sweeden, Ireland, Denmark, Findland, and Alaska). Some of this looks very interesting, I’m hoping to see some of the Ceilidh Nights (storytelling not dancing) where a group of storytellers share similar stories. Anyone up for joining me? 24 Oct - 2 Nov Scottish Story Telling Festival 3 Comments |
