The main draw is its programme of spoken-word performances, most of which take place in its 100-seat basement theatre. The storytelling doesn’t just happen on stage, though. The ground floor has a large, airy room used for exhibitions, workshops as well as a monthly story session for tots (Tiny Tales for one- to three-year-olds). Exit through the gift shop No gift shop! Better than that, the centre has an independent bookshop, which specializes in fables, myths and folk stories. Many are classics passed down from generation to generation, although contemporary material also exists in abundance. Kids’ books are plentiful. Contemporary highlights include Lari Don’s Serpents and Werewolves and Janis Mackay’s The Selkie Girl. Also worth a look is Animals, Beasties and Monsters of Scotland by Lea Taylor, which forms part of The History Pres’s superb compilation (编纂) of regional Scottish folk stories. There are also Scots’ versions of Harry Potter, as well as Roald Dahl’s The Twits. Getting there The centre is in the middle of Edinburgh’s Old Town, at the eastern end of the Royal Mile. It’s a five-minute walk from Waverley railway station. Driving in the city centre is to be avoided; the nearest bus stops are on the High Street and North Bridge. For more information, visit Lothian Buses. Value for money Reasonable. Entry to the ground-floor space is free, although all the theatre performances are ticketed. Prices for shows vary, with the average around ￡8 for adults and ￡6 for children. Café Voices, the centre’s monthly storytelling night, is ￡5. Opening hours 10 a.m. -6 p.m. from Mondays to Saturdays; Sun
