I just loved researching and writing these bespoke stories @scotfishmuseum
The gansey story is so important to share - reflecting intangible cultural heritage through stories helps us to imagine fisherfolk and their knitting traditions. Herring Tales, by @janbeebrown does just that.
Enjoy listening to magical stories at: scottishgansey.org.uk/news-a…
Looking forward to taking part, cooking up a story and a craft!
