Stones & Stories
Go Local: Highland
(Sat 12 Oct)
Let’s explore the rocks of Caithness in the company of three storytellers. 400 million year-old fish fossils are found here, formed at roughly the same time as the flagstone that has supported industry in the area for thousands of years, and still creates work nowadays. Tradition and innovation inform the way stones are used in Caithness, which becomes the perfect place to think about what the fossils of the future might be.
12pm: Hands-on stones with Jane Mather
3pm: We All Love Steens
(for Big & Sma Bairns) with Alexandria Patience
6pm: Cave
Tales with Griogair MacAllein

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.
These events will take place at the Ross Institute, B874, KW12 6XZ and are free but ticketed. For bookings and info click the link above, email Cathy Maxwell sidhchailleannart@gmail.com or call 07811873507.
