Edinburgh: Our Storied Town
Edinburgh 900
(Thu 3 Oct: 6:30pm)
Edinburgh is officially 900 years old, but only 20 years have passed since it was recognised as the world’s first UNESCO City of Literature. To mark these events Donald Smith introduces his new book Edinburgh: Our Storied Town (Luath Press), whilst Stewart Conn, the first City Makar, reads from Aspects of Edinburgh (Scotland Street Press) and shares other poems of our fabulously storied town.

2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
