Lead by Lilian Ross, you will be plucked from the fast pace of modern life to a time when the country was in turmoil. These creative writing workshops offer you a unique opportunity to get started on historic stories full of intrigue, emotion and interest inspired by fragments of history found on Culloden Battlefield. Aimed at writing novices, we will begin with a warm up exercise to get those creative juices flowing. Thereafter, we will explore which artefact inspires you and discuss a story frame and the key characters to build your story round. By the end of the workshop you should have the “bones” of what could be the winning entry into our short story creative writing competition, “Hidden Stories”. The word limit for the competition is 1500 and the submission deadline is February 21 2009 (the anniversary of the day the Jacobites took the Old Fort George in Inverness). Lilian Ross is a local storyteller registered with the Scottish Book Trust and the Scottish Storytelling Centre Edinburgh and she is also a singer of Scots songs and ballads. Limited to 25 places.

What if the musket balls, the pendants and the shoe buckles we have discovered on Culloden Battlefield could tell us their hidden story? Too bad that objects can’t talk, but on the other hand, that gives you the opportunity to write your own story about them. Who might have been the boy or girl, the man or woman who lost that button from their jacket, the one with the Stuart thistle on it? How did they lose it? And how did it stay on the field for two hundred years until we found it? We’ll help you fire up your imagination in this workshop if you’re over 6 years old. During the workshop we will: -look at the artefacts found on the battlefield -explore anything that can help us better understand these artefacts -choose an artefact to focus on -discuss what makes a good story -draw up our own storyboard -look at how to create characters in a story -share and discuss our initial ideas for a story At the end of the workshop we hope you’ll start writing your own story about Culloden’s artefacts. And if it’s less than 1500 words, why not submit it to our Creative Writing Competition (the deadline is the 21st of February, the day the Jacobite army captured the Old Fort George in Inverness in 1746). Greg Dawson Allen is a member of the Scottish Storytelling Centre (Edinburgh) and the Society of Storytellers (England). He is also the winner of the Stewarts of Blairgowrie Trophy 1992, 1993 and 2006. Visit Greg’s website at http://www.telliesperie.co.uk
