Scottish Storytelling Centre

There is no greater pleasure than the power of traditional storytelling, taking listeners on a journey of the imagination. The 31st SISF features 60 events in Edinburgh and 22 throughout Scotland, with 20 international guests joining 60 Scottish artists to share old traditions and new connections.

SISF’s international exchange explores Scotland and Canada as First Nation and Scottish tradition bearers share and compare their story, dance and song inheritance, while the Global Lab features keynote speeches, debates and explorations of the role of storytellers in the 21st century. Whether you’re a storyteller yourself, a listener, or someone who is completely new to the craft, let SISF take you Beyond Words this autumn.
