Take your pick at the Highland Folk Museum during the tattie holidays
The Highland Folk Museum at Newtonmore will be alive with the sound of stories this tattie holidays.
Everyone is invited to visit the popular High Life Highland visitor attraction’s October storytelling festival.
It will include everything from traditional tales and spooky fireside stories to woodland walks and crafts.
Families can also have a go at spotting ghostly figures in the historic buildings as they follow the Ghost Trail.
Cara Roberts led the way on Monday and Tuesday this week, weaving magic and sharing her love of nature.
Later this week, Sarah Hobbs from Strathspey Storywalks will be telling some local tales and spooky stories on Friday
Author and screenwriter for Cbeebies, Emma Dodd, will bring the pinewoods to life with some crafty fun and nature storytelling next Monday and Tuesday.
Alan Crawford brings the festival to a close next Wednesday (October 19) and Thursday (October 20) with an insightful look at the native trees in the museum’s pinewoods by combining tree identification with folklore.
Jo Hopkins, assistant operations manager at the Highland Folk Museum, said: “Families always have a fun time at the museum during the October holidays and with the support of funding from the Year of Stories 2022 we’ve made it a little bit more special.
"We are delighted to have such a range of storytellers for our Tattie Tales.
"From Cara’s magical and natural stories to Sarah’s wonderful story walks and Alan’s ability to share his knowledge of native trees and the folklore, there will be something for all ages.
"We are also, of course, absolutely delighted to have Emily Dodd with us for two days for her fun and interactive sessions for younger children and their families.”
The festival is being supported by the Year of Stories 2022 Community Stories Fund.
This is delivered in partnership between VisitScotland and Museums Galleries Scotland with support from National Lottery Heritage Fund.
