Scottish Storytelling Centre, Storytelling venue on High Street, Royal Mile in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
The Scottish Storytelling Centre combines modern architecture with traditional elements, featuring performance spaces, exhibition areas, and an adjacent historical residence.
The building opened in 2006 on the former site of Netherbow Arts Centre, replacing the demolished Moray-Knox Church from the 1960s.
The centre maintains Scottish oral traditions through live storytelling events, theatre performances, music shows, and two annual festivals celebrating narrative arts.
The facility opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, offering guided tours, exhibition access, performance spaces, and meeting rooms for various cultural events.
This institution stands as the first purpose-built modern centre in the world specifically dedicated to the practice of live storytelling performance.
