Macastory

Since 2003 performers Ron Fairweather and Fergus McNicol have worked together as Macastory delivering themed storytelling into schools, libraries and festivals all over Scotland. Macastory’s priority is to provide a live experience of storytelling and singing while also encouraging the audience to interact with the stories and songs through participation in the performances and by taking part in workshops.

This experience is designed to engage and inspire the love of storytelling and song.Our aim is to teach storytelling, songwriting and literacy skills by enhancing imagination and aspiration which in turn will develop a greater sense of self esteem.
