Скачать или смотреть Scotland’s Stories from the Western Isles Community Campfire

Enjoy this compilation of digital stories from the people of the Western Isles. They were recorded during our Community Campfires residency in spring 2022.

What is Community Campfires?
Throughout April and May, we were thrilled to run Scotland's Stories: Community Campfires, a tour of story making residencies across four Scottish communities as part of Scotland's Year of Stories 2022.

Working in partnership with local library services in North Ayrshire, Inverclyde, Fife and the Western Isles, we brought a band of story makers –including Luke Winter and his Story Wagon – to support individuals to tell, make and share the stories that matter to them.

Each residency ended with a Community Campfire – an event for the community to share the stories they made over the preceding five days.

This project was designed to celebrate the power of storytelling in all forms with opportunities for participants to capture their stories in a variety of ways including the written word, through digital stories, in collaboration with a professional filmmaker and through a recorded conversation. The stories created reflect Scotland's rich tradition of storytelling and the vibrancy of its communities.

Scotland's Year of Stories 2022 spotlights, celebrates and promotes the wealth of stories inspired, written or created in Scotland. Stories are vital to every part of Scotland. Every community has its own tales to tell, places to highlight as inspiration for well-known books and films, visitor attractions that showcase our literature, poetry and storytelling heritage and all kinds of places and spaces where stories, old and new, can be enjoyed. From icons of literature to local tales, Scotland's Year of Stories encourages locals and visitors to experience a diversity of voices, take part in events and explore the places, people and cultures connected to all forms of our stories, past and present.
