ScotlandsFest: Tea and Tales

Join Gerda Stevenson, author of Cat Wumman: Tales o Nine Lives as she mesmerises with her contemporary retellings of folk tales from Scotland, Japan, the Mississippi swamps and Inuit tribes, blending storytelling and song, over tea and coffee.

‘In Stevenson’s hands, her beautifully crafted and wonderfully speakable Scots seems like a language reborn to meet the deep civilisational challenge of our time... a book of mighty and magical stories simply and superbly told, that marks its author out as one of the great champions of the Scots tongue.’ The Scotsman

ScotlandsFest is Luath Press' annual festival during the Edinburgh fringe, celebrating the vibrant literary, cultural and political landscape of Scotland. There are many Scotlands, so many ideas of what Scotland is and can be. Each of us carries our own vision, our own experiences and our own perspectives of our nation. At ScotlandsFest, we celebrate these many Scotlands as seen through the eyes of the poet, the artist and the scholar.

Whether you live here or are visiting, make the most of your time at the Fringe. Discover ScotlandsFest. Big thinking in a small country – thought-provoking discussions, immersive storytelling, history, poetry, politics and more.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
