Scotland is a land of myths and legends. From fairies and selkies, to castles and kelpies, these stories have inspired writers, storytellers, artists and poets throughout the centuries. Join us for a relaxed and fun storytelling session with some of Scotland's best storytellers as they share the wonderful, and sometimes wild, traditional tales that have shaped the myths and legends of this country. Immerse yourself in traditional oral storytelling for Scotland's Year of Stories 2022. Illustration by Annalisa Salis.
