Tales of the North Coast - Join us for a family fun day exploring the folklore and stories of the north coast!

Selkies, witches, fairies and healing plants what’s your favourite story?
Our event will explore the folklore of our area and the stories that are told about different parts of our environment from traditional remedies to special geographic places. We will invite our communities, both geographic and of interest through the diaspora to share the folklore they associate with North Sutherland or which has been passed down in their families about ‘the old country’.
