LIVING HERITAGE DISCOVERY DAY

Join TRACS and partners for a jam-packed all-day celebration of the very best in the Traditional Arts at the Scottish Storytelling Centre. Intrigued by Intangible Cultural Heritage and would love to know more? Come and find out all you want to know from Scotland’s experts in the field, whilst having a go yourself in our come and try craft, dance, music and storytelling taster workshops. 

We’re thrilled to have with us Michael Fortune, Ireland’s folklore aficionado, who’ll be talking to us about our Celtic cousins’ approach to ICH and tradition-bearing, as well as his own amazing work through the folklore.ie platform.
