Storytelling with Hidden Aberdeen Tours
Monday evening’s Beer and Bloodthirsty Tales at Underdog was amazing. Β Fiona Jane Brown and I told tales from the Castlegate’s bloody past and the audience was wonderful! Β We’re performing this Friday evening at Ma Cameron’s in a set called “Spooky Shenanigans at the Sow Croft Inn.” Β Fully booked already I’m afraid.
I’ll be back at Underdog telling tales of terror on the 22nd May with Hidden Aberdeen ToursΒ telling stories with Fiona-Jane Brown and Haworth Hodgkinson (writer & musician) will be providing some atmospheric music and poetry. Thanks Amie Bain Photography for the photographs!

Festival Themed Party!
Well done to Eva and her party guests who made these festival headdresses/headbands at her Festival themed party on Saturday! ![]()
We also got out the neon face paints again which was a surprise for the girls when we went into the darkened room with the UV lights! ![]()
And 10/10 for everyone that danced in the dance-off. You were brilliant xxx
Mary Elphinstone
I was in Banff graveyard yesterday and it was so peaceful and quiet (even with the scurries sqwaking in the background) that I thought I’d take the opportunity to record a wee story. Β This is one of my favourite stories to tell – Mary Elphinstone who was buried twice in Inverurie π
