The Scottish International Storytelling Festival explores nine centuries of Edinburgh life through the lens of literature and storytelling. It will celebrate the anniversary themes in resonant locations across Edinburgh, and highlight key writers, stories, books and ideas, which together contribute to the city’s unique character. The programme is accompanied by a newly published book ‘Edinburgh – Our Storied Town’ authored by Storytelling Festival Director, Donald Smith. It is 20 years since Edinburgh became the world’s first UNESCO City of Literature, and delegates from the now 53 cities of literature will attend SISF in October and join in Edinburgh – Our Storied Town events.
