The Story Behind the Storyteller

Bringing Scotland’s legends, folklore and forgotten tales to life.

Coming from a long line of ministers who were also great storytellers in Scotland.Including ‘Padruig nan Oran’ Peter of the songs, who was an inspirational Gaelic hymn writer, I have always loved telling Scottish stories. As a midwife with a degree in Scottish History I have studied the relationship between midwifery and magic.

Every story has a beginning, and Scotland has no shortage of extraordinary tales to tell.

From mysterious creatures lurking beneath dark waters to restless spirits wandering ancient castles, Scotland’s rich storytelling tradition has captivated audiences for centuries.

With a passion for folklore, mythology and the magic of the spoken word, I bring these timeless tales to life through live storytelling at events, private gatherings and special occasions.

Whether gathered around a roaring fire, sharing ghost stories on a dark winter’s evening, or exploring the legends of Scotland’s past, storytelling has a wonderful way of bringing people together.

Here on this website, you’ll find a growing collection of traditional Scottish tales, ghost stories, myths and legends to read and listen to whenever the mood takes you.

So pull up a chair, settle in, and let the stories begin.

After all, the best stories are meant to be shared.
