“I am a Scottish author, artist and storyteller with TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland) and Scottish Book Trust.

“Raised in Perthshire in a family with a strong tradition of maintaining oral storytelling practices, I specialize in traditional Scottish folklore, folk objects, folk beliefs, origin stories and ancient Scottish legends.

“Before devoting my life to sharing stories I spent over 20 years working with national museums, including National Museums Scotland and V&A London.
Compelled to maintain my family’s storytelling tradition and use all I learned from working in museums, I now travel all over Scotland sharing the stories, using song, illustration and historic object handling to help bring Scottish tales from history and folklore to life for audiences of all ages.

”Some of my stories and publications can be found here: BBC, STV, Vogue, Seasonal Folklore: Spring | Wide Open Sea, Ossian: Warrior Poet | Wide Open Sea.
