Eileen Budd

I offer storytelling experiences in the Angus area, often working in rural and historic locations to bring the landscape and heritage to life through the stories.  I am a Scottish author, artist and storyteller with TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland) and Scottish Book Trust.  Raised in Perthshire in a family with a strong tradition of maintaining oral storytelling practises, I specialise in traditional Scottish folklore, folk objects, folk beliefs, origin stories and ancient Scottish legends.

Before devoting my life to sharing stories I spent over 20 years working with national museums, including National Museums Scotland and V&A London. 
Compelled to maintain my family’s storytelling tradition and use all I learned from working in museums, I now travel all over Scotland sharing the stories, using song, illustration and historic object handling to help bring Scottish tales from history and folklore to life for audiences of all ages.
