Storytelling, Writing & Narration.

Hello, I am a narrator, storyteller and writer. I live in Scotland.

My first Degree is in Drama and English, and my Master’s is in Scottish Folklore. I’m a qualified Adult Supported Learning Educator. I worked as an Expressive Arts Lecturer in Further Education for ten years, teaching dance, movement, Drama, and communication skills.

Putting my knowledge of Scottish folklore to good use, I co-authored a collection of environmental folktales from England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales - Dancing With Trees, Eco-Tales from the British Isles, 2017. (See Books)

My second book, Lanarkshire Folk Tales, dives deeply into the folklore & culture of Scotland’s most populated county, including Glasgow. (See Books)

Funny Folk Tales for Children is my third collection. Hillarious stories from around the world. (See Books)

I facilitate writing & storytelling workshops for all age groups and abilities.

I’ve worked for The Scottish Book Trust as a Writer in Residence for ASN Primary children. My new Author Residency begins in 2024 with Wallyford Primary School in East Lothian. I also work regularly with Strathclyde University as a STEM Equals and Oral History writer, facilitator, and storyteller.

In 2022, I led storytelling and writing workshops for the Scottish Badgers and Scottish Wildlife Trust.

‘‘Astonished and delighted - at the @scottishbadgers storytelling workshop, actually managed to banish my usual writers block and WRITE freely and without fear! New skill unlocked - thank you @alligalbraith and Team Badger!’’ Dr Smita Odedra.

My vocal development is ongoing through Nadine George’s Voice Method. I narrate stories and books. My work has been featured on East London Radio’s Talking Stories, Scottish Communities Climate Action Network, Blues & Roots Radio and the University of Strathclyde’s Education and Oral History Departments.
