An Fenten
Mull and Cornwall have more in common than you might think, and An Fenten sets out to show it.
If you love a good story, there's a lovely evening of them at the University of Aberdeen in October. Storytellers Peter Chand and Kirsten Milliken draw on Indian and Scottish traditions for The State of Water, a mix of stories and songs about lake nymphs, enchanted waves, hidden realms and the waters that run between lands and peoples. It's part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival and the Aberdeen and Beyond Storytelling Festival, hosted by the university's Elphinstone Institute. It takes place on Tuesday 27 October, from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, in the Craig Suite on the seventh floor of the Sir Duncan Rice Library. Entry is free, but places need to be booked with the Elphinstone Institute.

The Citizens Theatre has stood in the Gorbals since 1878, and after a long rebuild you can now go behind the scenes on one of its heritage tours.

Every October the pines of Faskally Wood, a mile or so out of Pitlochry, are lit and scored for a month, and people walk through them after dark.
