Thanks to everyone who came along to our ‘Tales from the High Place’ last night and shared their spooky

stories and poems.

We had a supernatural focus and were enchanted by the Green Lady and a mysterious dripping shawl as well as a couple of Taits Tomb tales.

We had gasps and laughter and a wee recurring theme from Mary Queen of Scots to Mary Stevenson and Craigie Shanter’s Ma Mary and even Marydoll got a look in!

We’re back on Monday 8th at 7.30pm as part of Tillicoultry Community Week come along and enjoy some TIlly Tales.

All Welcome!

A representative from Women’s Aid said:

We were lucky enough to have the chance to chat with the incredible Hillfoots Tales last week

Some of the women we work with met at Inglewood House for some afternoon tea and a storytelling workshop. The feedback was amazing:

“I enjoyed this experience and meeting other people, realising you’re not on your own.”

“I enjoyed the encouragement and similarities of women attending. It was a really positive experience, pushed me to open up.”

“It was really good and interesting. It was good to get out the house and hear how others are doing.”

Thank you to Jo & Eleanor at Hillfoots Tales for such an engaging and welcoming workshop.

Smashing time last night in Dunfermline at The Fire Station

A storytelling fundraiser in aid of S.L.A.T.E Charity and Boards for Bairns.

Thanks to a superb team of local helpers and storytellers Jo Dowd, Anne Dignan, Elaine Robertson, Joshua Bryant, and me Michael Kerins. We were expertly led by Paula Graham, Nathan Graham, Scrangerine Van Tanner and wonderful words about Boards for Bairns from Gregor Fell. Rona Barbour visiting from England told us about a new project she is setting up.

The Fire Station is an ideal venue for pop up art projects.

Thanks again everyone who participated and helped us raise £207

Bravo Bravo and thrice Bravo!
