The People of the Sea
(Thu 23 Oct: 8pm)
Inspired by David Thomson’s remarkable work The People of the Sea, storytellers Ruth Kirkpatrick and Colin Urwin bring selkie myths and coastal voices back to life. Both tender and brutal, Thomson’s collection of seal folklore and folktales from the coasts of Scotland and Ireland captures the mythic bond between people and nature, acting as a quiet yet powerful homage to a disappearing world.

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!
