A Storyteller's Opportunity Knox

For those who love storytelling, it will be heartwarming to hear that the ultimate festival city hasn't neglected the spinners of yarns as the Scottish Storytelling Festival rolls into Edinburgh in October.

Held in the Scottish Storytelling Centre (SSC), which incorporates John Knox house, on the Royal Mile, the event is a chance for would-be storytellers to hone their own skills while enjoying those of others, weaving tales of wonder and mystery to fascinate the listener.

All this takes place alongside exhibitions and heritage, which is appropriate enough given the location.

Visitors staying in cheap hotels in Edinburgh can visit John Knox house or else take in any of the many other fine and historic structures in the city, such as the castle or the Calton Hill monument, while enjoying both the historic ambience and the vibrancy of a self-assertive national capital centred round the new parliament building at Holyrood.

Those who fancy taking in the superb views over the city can best do so from a hike up Arthur's seat, a dormant volcano which towers over the city, offering a rural oasis above the busy streets.
