Shorelines: A story walk through time and tide with local poet and storyteller Margot Henderson.

Come for a wander where the river meets the sea. Where the seals sing, the setting of the sun and salmon return to their spawning ground. We’ll wander through Findhorn streets and hear stories from under our feet. We’ll walk out along the shore, in the footsteps of those who went before – Pictish folk and fisher quines, feckless lairds, the odd mermaid…and more.

Meeting point: James Milne Institute, Findhorn
