Storytelling is one of the most ancient forms of art; through it generations were educated and inspired. It is so powerful in stimulating the imagination and taking the listeners to other worlds that it can be quite addictive. It also brings people together rich and poor, the old and the young, while they share the enthusiasm of the storyteller.
In order to celebrate and promote this incredible tradition, storytellers and audiences from all over the world will gather in Edinburgh to take part in the Scottish International Storytelling Festival. This year’s edition will take place from October 19 to 28.

As the temperature rises and the Fringe starts, Edinburgh is changing its face. Many streets are closed for traffic and open to the public with terrazas, food & drink stands and stages. Being here at this time of the year is a unique experience.
The weather is not as hot as in most of European capitals, which makes walking and enjoying al fresco dining a truly pleasant experience.
Some odd showers may happen but hopefully it will be when you are watching a play or stand-up comedy in a pub.
If you have never been to the Fringe Festival before and haven’t been able to plan your visit in advance, here are some tips.
