Fringe 2026
Join us this August to celebrate 20 years of the Scottish Storytelling Centre! As the world’s first purpose-built centre for oral storytelling, the SSC is a welcoming space for locals, families and visitors to meet and enjoy the wonder of stories. Through mythology, folklore, story and song the Fringe 2026 programme explores the connections and common ground we share across time, language and culture while celebrating 20 years of the cèilidh atmosphere at the heart of the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
There’s food in the eating place, drink in the drinking place, and stories in the listening place – it’s all there waiting to be enjoyed!
