BBC Radio Scotland – The Laird O Morphie
And then on Friday I was invited along to tell a story to Fiona Stalker as part of her “Out For The Weekend” show. I told one of my favourites – the Laird of Morphie. You can hear my wee slot one hour and 45 seconds into the show!

BBC Radio Scotland – The Boddamers Hinged The Monkey-O
Really excited to be on BBC Radio Scotland not once, but twice last week!
First of all I took part in the Time Travels programme on Tuesday 3rd telling the story of the Boddamers Who Hung the Monkey which my Dad, George Cordiner told me about our Boddam fisherfolk ancestors. You can hear the story 17 minutes into Tuesday’s show:
Fairies and Pirates!
Two parties coming up this weekend! First off it’s Fairies for 5th birthday – the young lady will receive a special fairy headdress and naming certificate! Then on Sunday it’ll be time for pirate games, stories and crafts!
I love my job! 😀 ❤
Crosby House and Westhill Rainbows
What a fantastic day for storytelling! 
The problem is – I can’t figure out who was my best audience. Was it the ladies and gentlemen at Crosby House who joined in the songs and reminisced about Union Street in the 50s? Or was it the Westhill Rainbows who stamped their feet and demanded more cream!?
I’ll have to declare it a draw 
… And The Boddamers Hung The Monkey-O!
Here’s a preview of Pauline telling her father’s version of The Boddam Monkey on BBC Radio Scotland.

You can hear the full story on Tuesday 3rd October!
James Hutton Institute BioBlitz, 28th July 2017
Pauline was telling stories at The James Hutton Institute’s BioBlitz event on the 28th July. She told stories of the plants and animals of our world and how they effect the world around us. PLUS! She got to meet a bee and a purring wildcat!
Fraserburgh Super Saturdays 12 Aug 2017
Well it was a beautiful sunny day in the Broch on Saturday where I was lucky to be telling stories with Elsie the Fishwife! We had a few great wee audiences of mums, dads, grannies and grandas as well as the bairns of Fraserburgh. Elsie helped me tell the story of the Fisherman and the Flounder. She does a really good nagging auld wife impression. Disappointingly for Elsie, she didn’t find husband number 5 though – but it wasn’t for the lack of trying to chat up any mannie over 50 she thought looked eligible!
Thanks to Super Saturdays who invited us along – they have a monthly event in Saltoun Square and there is always a different theme with bands, stalls and other entertainments!
Aberdeen Storytelling Festival!
Good morning!
