The Story and the Dream is this year’s theme for the Scottish International Storytelling Festival in Edinburgh. Starting today and running until November 2, the festival includes more than 60 events for children and adults to be held in a variety of venues across Edinburgh, the Lothians and the Scottish Borders. From a night of spooky stories in the haunted Glentress Forest to native American tales told in a tipi, there is something for everyone.
