Wanderers, wayfarers and travellers, pilgrims, rebels and vagabonds have all taken to the roads to seek a path to something elsewhere. Guest storyteller Owen Pilgrim shares stories from his own personal experience as well as folktales, poetry and song about being on the road.
Another fun and friendly session of Edinburgh’s monthly storytelling club held upstairs in the Waverley Bar, with the usual open-floor section for anyone to share a story, song or poem around the theme or otherwise.
Originally from Canada, Owen Pilgrim has lived and worked in Scotland for many years where he is a celebrated woodcrafter and storyteller. He also runs Telltale Tea Company, which specialises in tea blends named after traditional stories from somewhere in the world.
