Visit Scotland Information
The love of stories is hardwired into us all; it is one of the strongest ways we connect with one another and share our experiences. Great stories, well told, can evoke indelible images in our minds
and bring contemporary and traditional cultures to life. Every culture has its stories to tell, and Scotland has a particularly rich heritage of stories and storytelling to spotlight and celebrate. These
include our local tales, oral traditions, great stories told in books or on screen – all inspired by our country, our culture and reflected by many diverse voices and across the widest range of forms. Stories are vital to every part of Scotland. Every community has its own tales to tell, places to highlight as inspiration for well-known books and films, visitor attractions that showcase our literary and storytelling heritage and all kinds of places and spaces where stories, old and new, can be enjoyed.
Please go to our online submission portal on our website and enter all the details required.
Submissions without all the correct information will not be considered.
Works can be no bigger than 60 x 60 cm (frame included in the size).
