Kirsty grew up listening to her dad make up bedtime stories every night and from there quickly started to write her own. As Kirsty has lived life through its many ups and downs her love for storytelling has never waivered. 

​

The idea for the podcast: Fancy A Blether? came about in 2020 when Kirsty was craving the connection and stories of strangers and now every week Kirsty sits down with a different 'average joe' in Edinburgh to learn more about their stories. Once a month Kirsty records a Stories of Scotland episode that is typically centered around Scottish folklore because that is the place where her love of storytelling first began. 

​

The world can be a confusing, overwhelming and joyous place and Kirsty likes to make sense of it by writing stanzas in the hopes that they might connect with or leave some kind of impression on the reader.
