Wild Tales from the Borderlands is a rural communities focused folklore project with a cross-border element. It brings lore keepers together for traditional-style gatherings, brings the art of traditional storytelling and local tales into schools, and provides a storytelling bus tour to connect these stories with places along the way.

Keith Corcoran, author and tour guide from Donegal, is also known as a seanchaí, following in the ancient Irish tradition of storytelling. His wise and engaging voice is the voice of millennia of oral storytelling. Keith has researched a range of wondrous, mystifying, and sometimes frightening tales from the remote Wild Atlantic edge of County Donegal. His strange stories include ship-sinking witches, haunted islands, banshees and phantom hitchhikers as well as enchanting Celtic legends. His new book, Finding Fairy Mysteries in Donegal investigates fairy folklore and how this ancient belief system may yet prove relevant in developing a deeper sense of connection to our world.
