Family Storytelling Day at the National Museum of Scotland

SISF 2026 | Family Event

(Sat 24 Oct)

Encounter birds, beasts and beasties of all kinds with a full day of free fun at the National Museum of Scotland, featuring stories and crafts for all the family.

Over the course of the day you can...
Venture into the woods with Claire McNicol for stories of woodland and forest, the changing seasons and birds and beasts that live among the trees.
Dive under the sea with Janis Mackay for stories of sea creatures both real and mythical and tales of tide, weather and wave.
Go wild with Macastory on a Story Safari around the museum and see what you can discover.
Meet the wee-est of the Wee Folk with Gauri Raje and Patrick Chadwick, featuring magical footage of the bugs and beasties who have lived here since before the Highland Boundary Fault formed (MILLIONS of years!).

Between stories and adventures, there will be plenty of family-friendly crafts and activities to keep you entertained.
