Comment from Zoe Smith

There are few more rewarding ways to uncover Scotland’s myths and legends, than paying a visit to the capital’s Scottish Storytelling Centre. An award-winning public building set on Edinburgh’s Royal mile, the center celebrates the Gaelic tradition of storytelling, an ancient art form that combines literary readings with performance.

The center, designed by Malcolm Fraser architects, is the headquarters of the Scottish Storytelling Network and houses the John Knox House, the Netherbow Theatre and the George Mackay Brown Library, alongside a Storytelling court, café and gift shop.
