Come along to the Scottish Storytelling Centre, the home of Scottish Storytelling, for a drop-in session of traditional tales with storytellers Mark Borthwick and Sarah Wedderburn-Oglivy.
Suitable for all ages, these two expert storytellers will welcome anyone into their fairy circle for as many stories, myths, riddles, and wondertales as they would like.
Throughout the day, the Storytelling Centre is offering free talks on Edinburgh history to celebrate the City's 900th Birthday, and the Storytellers have been given the magic key to the secret John Knox House museum, if anybody would like to take a peek.

This event is also part of Fair Saturday, a global mobilisation that aims to create a positive social impact every last Saturday of November, the day following Black Friday, the greatest expression of consumerism. Artists and cultural organisations from all over the world get together in a global festival of arts for change.
