Author type: Poet, Storyteller, Writer

I am a storyteller and writer, and have been a registered professional storyteller with the Scottish Storytelling Forum since 1998. I tell stories to any audience from a wide variety of traditions, with a particular passion for using storytelling skills for cultural and natural heritage interpretation. I have also worked for extended periods in the museum sector.

I have written learning resources and the book Scottish History: Strange but True for The History Press. I have researched, designed and delivered many heritage related projects, and delivered many workshops on storytelling skills and oral history collection. I work both in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
