We want to reconnect people with their folkloric heritage. Folklore Scotland was established in order to create a hub for Scottish Folklore utilising a multimedia approach to engage new and existing folklore enthusiasts in the Sclatland's rich and diverse expanse of myths and legends. From our bank of stories on our website, to our entensive podcast offerings, as well as some live events, we seek to reconnect people with the tales of the past. Folklore Scotland is grounded in the belief that Scottish folklore has as much, if not more, of a role to play in building community, teaching lessons, and furthering our understanding of our culture today, as it did in the days of our ancestors.

Objectives: To advance for the public benefit: the preservation of folkloric heritage in Scotland for Scotland's future generations by curating, developing and propagating Scottish myths and legends through a variety of media. To promote for the public benefit: education of folkloric heritage in Scotland for Scotland's general public by supplying them with a range of educational resources including, but not limited to, information provided through our website, social media and community events.
