Living Stone Scottish Tour 2025
Mairi Campbell’s Living Stone is the Fringe First winning solo show created with director/devisor Kath Burlinson and co-composer Dave Gray.
The journey begins with the discovery of the ancient mill stone on Mairi’s great-grandmother’s croft on the isle of Lismore. Mairi explores the stone’s stories and mysteries, the images she finds within it and some of the 100 drawings she made of it.
Living Stone is a distinctive blend of live music, song and viola as well as striking visual art which creates a rich, multi-sensory experience highlighting the mystery and beauty of everyday life.
Living Stone will be touring Scotland this September to Isle of Lismore, Benderloch, Arran, Paisley, Craignish, Dunvegan Skye, Ullapool, Banchory, Inverness, Stirling, Aberfeldy, St Andrews, Peebles, Stranraer, Moffat, Hawick and Carlops.

'When Mountains Meet' is a past AAC project.
When Mountains Meet performed at Celtic Connection 2023 and toured to 10 venues across Scotland in 2024, supported by the Creative Scotland Touring Fund for Theatre and Dance.
Selling out the majority of venues, the show welcomed audiences in Edinburgh, Shetland, Aberdeen, Ullapool, Stirling, Crieff, Glasgow, Castle Douglas, Melrose ad Paisley. This included three festivals, Rise Up in Aberdeen, Ulluminate in Ullapool and Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival.
Inspired by the true story & journals of Anne Wood.
Gig theatre, storytelling, Scottish/Pakistani-influenced music & striking visual images combine to recount Anne's adventures as she leaves Edinburgh for an unforgettable voyage through Pakistan.
