The Last People on Earth
SISF 2026 | Family Event
(Sat 10 Oct: 3pm)
Step into a story carved into Scotland’s landscape and carried through centuries of memory. The Last People on Earth invites you on a powerful journey back almost 2,000 years, to a defining moment in Scotland’s history: the battle of Mons Graupius.
A new show by celebrated Scottish storyteller Andy Cannon, who with his trademark warmth and wit breathes life into this ancient encounter between the Caledonians and the unstoppable force of the Roman Empire. The Last People on Earth blends storytelling, original music and the latest archaeological insights to unearth glimpses of truth buried deep in time.
What really happened on that distant day? How did this moment shape the story of a nation? Whose voices have endured — and whose have been lost?

Join us in the school holidays and throughout the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2026 for a selection of storytelling performances and events for all the family. This year’s Festival explores the rich relationship between storytelling and the natural world through the theme Bird and Beast. Across Scotland, from Shetland to Dumfries and Galloway, the Western Isles to Aberdeenshire, we invite audiences to discover stories that illuminate the place of bird and beast in our traditions, folklore and myths. Gather round, follow the trail of feathers and footprints, and let your imagination take flight.
