VIKINGS! At Portsoy Book Festival
That’s myself and Bjarni the Viking off to Portsoy for our storytelling and craft event at Portsoy Book Festival!
I’ve loved the stories and sagas since my time volunteering at Archaeolink and am all set to tell stories of Thor, Loki and the Ice Giants!
After their stories, the children (and adults!) attending will get the chance to make a name plate in Futhark Runes and make some butter to try after another story.

From Out of the Deep!
This summer is filling up quickly with Glastonbury, Strumpshaw, Belladrum and other wonderful places to tell stories!
I’ll be fleein back up the road to Aberdeen for the 24th July where Aberdeen Ranger Service and the Grampian Association of Storytellers will be telling tales “From Out of the Deep” – another Coasts and Waters event.
Sea Monsters and Science at Powis Community Centre
A fab time yesterday at Powis Community Centre telling stories of Science and the Sea for the University of Aberdeen!
Why the Sea is Salty, Kitty and the Blue Men and of course, Assipattle and the Mester StoorWurm – some of my favourite maritime tales. And of course, there’s usually a scientific explanation for most sea monsters.
Afterwards the children made sea life masks and joined Robogals Aberdeen to make helicopters and rockets!
One wee boy wasn’t there when the masks were being made, so I got out the clay and we made some sea monsters – I’m not sure I fancy meeting these two on Aberdeen beach!
Some Photos from Spectra 2020
The jaws of the beast were huge! In fact, the beast itself was so big that it could wrap itself around the world and put its tail in its mouth!
