Join in and Tell a Story on the Day!
31 August 2011
Join in with family-friendly storytelling events for all
ages and be part of the Scottish International Storytelling
Festival!
Tell-a-Story Day is the national celebration of oral
storytelling, the perfect opportunity to get together with your
friends, family or community and rediscover the pleasure of telling
and listening to stories. Tell your own tales and encourage others
to share local myths and legends, enchanting fairy tales, scary
Halloween stories or treasured family legends... it's up to
you!
Organising a TASD event is easy, entirely free and our team
is always at hand to help with your planning. On our website you
will find tips and advice from our professional storytellers, free
resources and tales that you can download, learn and tell on the
day. So what are you waiting for? Start planning your TASD now!
Register your event on our website and you will get free posters
and stickers, as well as a 30% discount on Tales on the Tongue, the
Scottish Storytelling Centre's famous collection of traditional
tales for all ages ~

Register your event by Monday 26th September to make sure our
free resources reach you in time. This year we have
prepared some exciting new resources focusing on three festival
themes: Sea, Shore, and the Stories in between, Tales of Olympic
Proportions and Halloween. We hope that these resources will
inspire you and help you with your planning.

Scotland’s Islands - the events, exhibitions and activities happening all year round.
We list every event we hear of, large and small, taking place on
the islands of Scotland or taking place elsewhere and relating to
Scotland's Islands. They provide a unique opportunity to savour the
diversity and excitement of island life. Check our our facebook
page for general updates too - http://www.facebook.com/ScotlandsIslands.
There has never been a better time for you to visit Scotland's
Islands, to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and unspoilt beaches, to
get close to dramatic wild-life, learn about our heritage,
participate in a great range of activities, and enjoy our music,
food and drink.
All this on some of our 99 inhabited islands large and small (and
many more uninhabited) accessible by sea and air in six regions:
Argyll & Bute, Highland, North Ayrshire, Orkney, Outer Hebrides
and Shetland.
