Sgeul/Story: How the Gaelic storytelling tradition lives on today

In 1859, folklorist John Francis Campbell of Islay (1821-1885) began to collect stories from the people in the Highlands and Islands. Today these stories live on through contemporary storytellers and young people who are re-shaping the Gaelic storytelling tradition in ways that are relevant to 21st century audiences.
Sgeul I Story: Folktales from the Scottish Highlands, the National Library's exhibition on John Francis Campbell is on until April 2024 in Edinburgh. For details and opening times visit www.nls.uk/exhibitions/

An-diugh tha na sgeulachdan seo beò tro sgeulaichean an latha an-diugh agus daoine òga a tha a’ cur an cruth fhèin air beul-aithris na Gàidhlig ann an dòighean a tha freagarrach do luchd-èisteachd na 21mh linn.
