The Scottish International Storytelling Festival (SISF) is an annual celebration of storytelling, oral traditions and cultural diversity.

This year's festival will take place from 18th to 31st October.

Welcome to the world’s largest celebration of storytelling, anchored in Scotland, a nation of storytellers. Round that symbolic fire, experiences and memories are shared, and the torch of oral storytelling is passed on.
