Halloween Highland Folklore with Jenny Johnstone

Fancy an evening of folklore in Inverness' oldest house? Join us for a storytelling event in a house brimming with it's own spooky history. It's well known that ghost sightings have been reported at Abertarff House as the cities' oldest standing house. This Halloween, we'll be welcoming host of The Scottish Folklore Podcast, Jenny Johnstone, for an evening of spooky Highland folklore in a beautiful, if creepy, historic setting. Join us at 7pm on the 30th of October for a fireside storytelling session, autumnal treats, and an evening exploring the spookier side of Scottish Highland folklore. Jenny Johnstone is a storyteller and podcaster based in the Scottish Highlands. Her engaging, vibrant storytelling is fuelled by a love of Scottish folklore, mythology, and nature, and plunges the listener into the past, while immersing them in the rich world of the Scottish oral storytelling tradition. Through her podcast, 'The Scottish Folklore Podcast' she has amassed a vast repertoire of traditional tales from all around the country, and tailors each storytelling session to the occasion, bringing age-old adventures, local lore, seasonal stories, and strange creatures to life. There is no parking at Abertarff House, but Rose Street Multi Storey car park is a quick, 5-minute walk from Abertarff. We suggest leaving a wee bit of spare time to ensure you are able to park and arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of the event. We can't wait to see you there!
