| Born
and brought up in Orkney, Tom is well known for his traditional stories
of Orkney and the North. He has a great love for both folk tales and
local traditions, and has researched and collected tales from all
parts of the islands. He has also trawled older collections and recovered
stories that had been “lost” from current knowledge.
Tom’s storytelling is in demand across the northern world.
He has performed in Sweden, Iceland and Greenland as well throughout
Scotland. This summer he was running storytelling workshops in Slovenia,
with Lawrence Tulloch. He has published several collections of tales,
one of which, The Mermaid Bride, has been recently translated into
Japanese.
