The ethos of the Carrying Stream Festival is to celebrate and encourage the Carrying Stream; the organic route by which music, song, spoken word and all manner of culture, is passed on from person to person, and from generation to generation.

Running from 11 to 17 November 2026, a variety of events will take place at the Scottish Storytelling Centre on the Royal Mile. See Carrying Stream Festival for the full programme and details on how to book events.
