Cathy is a powerful teller of tales. She is a regular performer at Aberdeen Storytelling Festival and Aberdeen University WORD festival. She's told stories in castles, hospitals, arts centres, retirement homes and at weddings, funerals, parties and on hillsides. She has also worked for the BBC and was recently Storytelling Fellow in Aberdeen, working closely with schools to place storytelling in the primary curriculum

Guests can arrange a story session with Cathy. Bedtime stories or afternoon tales by the fire or in the garden are very popular and can be told in French, German or Doric (the local Scottish dialect), as well as in English. In return for these stories, Cathy asks for a donation to the Schoolhouse Sri Lanka fund (please click below for more information).

Guests researching their genealogy will be particularly delighted with tales from Scotland, which bring the past alive and give the listener an insight into the lives of their ancestors. A more extended storytelling and guiding input is available and Schoolhouse can arrange for family history research to be carried out prior to arrival.
