Wild Wings of Hope
SISF Family Event
(Wed 15, Thu 16 & Fri 17 Oct, drop-in from 10:30am)
The event blends papercut craft and traditional storytelling to honour the awe-inspiring migration of barn swallows and swifts between Scotland and Africa. Participants will create paper insects and birds with local artist Ed Harrison, brought to life through performances by African folklorist Chief Gift Amu and Scottish bard Cara Silversmith. Presented in partnership with the National Museum of Scotland.

The Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2025 tracks a rich northern arc which bridges Finland to Iceland, and connects Germany to Norway, with Scotland a sea road junction in the middle. Don’t miss out on the tales and music or the close experience of nature. As winter gathers round the hearth fires, look north to join the merry dancers in the sky!
