Born in Dublin, Éilís Ní Dhuibhne is a notable writer, folklorist and translator of Peig Sayers, the ‘Queen of Irish Storytelling’.

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.
This event is free but ticketed through the National Library of Scotland. Please click the link above to book your tickets.
