Scottish Traditional Storytelling Festival

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?

    I’m looking at the ‘Northern Lights’ on the 24th. Storytellers from Orkney and Shetland, but closer to then I’ll know for sure. There is also a few films at the film house in conjunction. The one of the Inuits I might go to as I spent some very brief time with them 3 summers ago.
