Information

The Scottish Borders are rich in stories – fantastical and powerful, dark and funny. Within the atmospheric setting of Melrose Abbey, in the shadow of the enchanting Eildon Hills, Border Scots storyteller James Spence will entertain you in the rich and lively tongue of the region with some of the best of these well-loved, magical stories from Thomas the Rhymer to Canonbie Dick and Tam Linn, most of which are to be found in his best-selling book Scottish Borders Folk Tales. Meet outside the Box Office Tent.
