Scotland's Year of Stories
Scotland’s Year of Stories 2022 celebrates stories inspired by, written, or created in Scotland.
Stories are a vital part of Scotland’s culture and every community has a different tale to tell. Shared stories, whether spoken, written, sung or filmed are what give a sense of place, history and belonging. This year you can look forward to events by community groups, museums, heritage sites and other visitor attractions with storytelling always at the heart of it. We even have a our very own Escape Room here at the cottage which celebrates the rich history and fascinating folklore of Irongray, Dumfries and Galloway, and the hills and glens of Scotland.
