Scotland is a land of stories.

Stories of wildlife, wild land and wild weather. Whether it’s great journalism, a memorable poem or a personal tale, a story can move us in different ways.

In recognition of Scotland’s rich history of storytelling and to mark our 60th anniversary in 2024, we launched our Words of the Wild campaign as a celebration of these stories.

Below you can find links to our podcast and the shortlisted entries to our nature writing competition, both of which were part of the campaign.
