Sgeul | Story is an exhibition in Gaelic and English about stories and storytelling traditions.
Scotland is rich in stories but once upon a time, Scottish Gaelic folktales were almost unknown beyond the Highlands. In 1859, folklorist John Francis Campbell began to collect Scottish Gaelic folktales. He found a treasure trove.
Sgeul I Story is at George IV Bridge, Edinburgh from Friday 9 June. Learn mòr at www.nls.uk/exhibitions
