Along the line where the walls of old Edinburgh once separated the city from the world beyond, in the convivial warmth of the Waverley Bar we will explore the boundaries, walk the line between reality and fiction, wild and domestic, this world and the next... For it is at the edges of things that magic stirs, challenge beckons and change awaits.
Come ye edge dwellers and bring along your stories, songs and offerings that sit on the ragged fringes. Join guest storyteller David Hughes for another fun and friendly session of Edinburgh’s monthly storytelling club held upstairs in the Waverley Bar.

David Hughes is a storyteller, science communicator and outdoor educator. With a background in ecological science, he tells stories to speak the land alive. David lends an easy charm and dry wit to the stories he tells and is comfortable telling stories around campfires, beneath magical trees or on stage. He has helped create performance pieces that explore themes of identity, becoming and belonging in old Celtic myth and has also developed solo pieces and commissions with various festivals across the UK, as well as facilitated training sessions and workshops on the craft of storytelling, youth work and nature connection.
Supported by the Scottish Storytelling Forum and TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland) through Creative Scotland Multi-Year Funding.
