He Sits on the Rock of Joy
(Sun 26 Oct: 4pm)
Deep in the woods of Kalevala, a voice rises. Old man Väinämöinen has been promised the lovely young Aino as his bride! He sings his joy, twice, three times. But his troubles have only begun. Journey into the northern forests with storyteller Linda Perttula and singer- songwriter Aino Elina as they combine teenage memories, ancient poetry and ethereal vocals in search for a connection to the Finnish epic.

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!
