What a privilege and joy to be invited into local schools to tell stories to children and thanks to the The Scottish Book Trust for providing the opportunity to work for a whole year in Elgin High School 2021 – 2022 as resident storyteller. Working with the librarian Kirsten Macleod. We worked across departments on Stories of the Sea from Scotland and beyond with a final event at the end of the year. Cross departmental collaborated throughout this residency culminating in our final event at the end of the year. The ASN young people were a sheer joy to work with, along with the music and the art department who gave outstanding support. Wonderful to hear The Blessing and Selkie Boy from Spell Songs being sang by students.
