Donald Smith, festival director, said: "In a world plagued by violence and division, the Scottish International Storytelling Festival offers bridges of imagination, fellow feeling and hope.

"And these qualities are inspired by a capital city that is celebrating 900 years of story, art and friendship."

For those unable to attend in person, the festival offers a podcast series called Another Story and the Global Lab strand returns this year with four online workshops.
