Lindsey Gibb's headshot

Lindsey loves stories and has been telling and sharing them all her life; her connection to the land and wildlife comes through in her storytelling. Journeys also feature strongly in Lindsey's stories as they offer opportunities for adventure, cunning and the unexpected.

As a professionally qualified trainer she runs workshops for all ages and CPD events for professionals. She has performed at the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, TradFest, Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Enchanted Forest, amongst others. She is co-author with C.A. Hope of Perthshire Folk Tales, a collection of stories, mysterious, fun, historical and dark, from Scotland's heartland. She is also fond of Jaffa Cakes.
