TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland)

Based in City of Edinburgh

TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland) is a co-operative network which champions our shared traditions of music, song, storytelling, dance, crafts, customs and local languages. Together we celebrate the local distinctiveness of Scotland’s places: our intangible cultural heritage. As of June 2024, TRACS is an accredited NGO expert advisor to UNESCO on Intangible Cultural Heritage.
TRACS also delivers the annual Scottish International Storytelling Festival, which is the world’s largest celebration of storytelling. Held each October since 1989, the festival is inspired by the Scottish ceilidh tradition, a vibrant gathering of stories, music, songs, and shared experiences. The festival offers a first-hand opportunity to experience Scotland’s living heritage across the whole of Scotland.
