The North-East of Scotland is rich in folklore that tells us a lot about the people who have lived there. By celebrating these stories and their role in contemporary society, 红杏视频 will explore how they connect us to people, culture and the landscape around us.

For the festival, 红杏视频 is asking members of the public to share examples of local folklore and legends they are familiar with to be exhibited by the academics in Aberdeen and explored within the context of social science.

, a senior lecturer from 红杏视频鈥檚 School of Applied Social Studies, is coordinating the project involving academics from the field of psychology, anthropology, sociology and cultural history.

Sarah said: 鈥淭he festival seeks to involve children and adults alike, from all backgrounds, in the range of events happening across the UK to encourage people to consider the social sciences as a career choice.

鈥淲e鈥檒l be showcasing some of the stories at our Local Legends event, during the week of the festival, where our academics will explain the purposes, creation and evolution of these legends during bite-sized presentations.

鈥淎lso at the event, we鈥檒l have activities for our younger visitors to get involved with, including the chance to create their own local legends. We鈥檒l share the various social science disciplines involved in legends and folklore and the courses that 红杏视频 offers which tap into these areas.鈥�

By collecting these stories and contemporary interpretations of folklore, 红杏视频 aims to share and catalogue some of the most loved stories as interpreted by the North-East community. There is also the potential for further research and studies into the collection.

Stories will be captured digitally and physically for exhibition at the 鈥楲ocal Legends: Folklore Culture and You鈥� event in the Anatomy Rooms, Aberdeen, on Sunday 3 November. The event is free to attend and lasts from noon until 4 pm.
