The Gathering Fire
Go Local: Perth & Kinross
(Sat 19 Oct: 4pm)
As our Celtic ancestors summoned inspiration for their stories from the spirit of the blacksmith’s fire - the Gruagach Solais - Finnish storyteller Riikka Palonen, local storyteller Claire Hewitt and musician Richard Martin Clarke continue this tradition at a time when the veil between worlds is thin. The gathering will take place at the new Crannog Centre Village around the fire in the beautiful Iron Age Roundhouse. The event is suitable for older kids.

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.
