At TRACS, we are dedicated to promoting and safeguarding Scotland’s traditional arts and Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) – also known as “Living Heritage”.
If you you’re not sure what ICH means, or you would like to read up on the latest ICH news and reports, please hit the link below.
The People’s Parish Project is a TRACS initiative committed to facilitating community-driven, place-based research.
Led by creative fieldworkers and volunteers, each project seeks to foster interest in local heritage, history, and distinctiveness through public programming and collaborative outputs.
TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland) is delighted to be delivering another cycle of TRACS Traditional Arts Mentoring, with the support of Creative Scotland and partners.
This programme supports the professional and personal development of traditional arts practitioners in Scotland, reinforcing TRACS’ key work in enhancing the knowledge, practice, access and sustainability of music, song, storytelling, dance, crafts, customs and local languages.
The cycle will run from March-September 2025 for approximately 6 months.
TRACS (Traditional Arts & Culture Scotland, SCIO SC043009) is a co-operative network which champions our shared traditions of music, song, storytelling, dance, crafts, customs and local languages.

TRACS and the Forums have their registered office at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43-45 High Street, Edinburgh EH1 1SR. The Storytelling Centre is a partnership project between the Storytelling Forum and The Church of Scotland (SC011353).
