Going to the Well
Edinburgh 900
(Fri 25 Oct: 12:30pm & 1:30pm)
In past centuries people went to St Catherine’s ‘Oily Well’ for its healing properties and a good day out. Friends of Gracemount Mansion are reviving this tradition with storyteller Jane Mather.
Meet at 12.30pm at Gracemount Walled Garden for community lunch and craft activities, then walk the route of a legendary secret tunnel to the Balm Well at Toby Carvery. Alternatively, meet at The Balm Well at 1.30pm for magical stories, heritage tales, and more fun! Access parking available at both venues.

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.
