Scottish Storytelling Centre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Scottish Storytelling Centre on Edinburgh's High street. Adjacent to John Knox's House.

The Scottish Storytelling Centre, the world's first purpose-built modern centre for live storytelling, is located on the High Street in Edinburgh's Royal Mile, Scotland, United Kingdom. It was formally opened on 1 June 2006 by Patricia Ferguson MSP, Minister for Culture in the Scottish Executive.[1] Donald Smith is Director of the Scottish Storytelling Centre, and himself a storyteller, playwright, novelist and performance poet.

The new building, designed by Malcolm Fraser Architects, replaced the former Netherbow Arts Centre,[2] which itself replaced the Moray-Knox Church, demolished in the 1960s.[3] It incorporates John Knox House.[4]

It is also used as a venue during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

In June 2016 the Centre celebrated its 10th anniversary, which coincided with a programme of events to mark the 20th anniversary of patron George Mackay Brown's death.[5]

In 2017, the centre was nominated for Best Performing Arts Venue in the Sunday Herald Culture Awards.[6]
