Knitting together
Knitting is recognised as one kind of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Scotland (ICH). Knitting qualifies as ICH since patterns were held as tacit knowledge and passed down through families and locations. This tradition has been threatened by social and economic change, but has experienced a recent revival through the use of internet resources, attracting new enthusiasts worldwide as a popular craft hobby. The digitisation of traditional ICH means…
Story-weaving
This article proposes to understand popular culture-inspired tourism as a process of ‘story-weaving’. Exploring the role of stories from the perspectives of tour guides and visitors, we analyse the collaborative process in which biographical stories, places and histories become entwined. Drawing on Walter Fisher's ‘narrative paradigm’ and his understanding of humans as ‘ homo narrans ’ or storytelling animals, we argue that story-weaving goes bey…
Introduction
The coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) has been disastrous for cultural tourism worldwide as many cultural tourist venues are concentrated in cities and have had to close along with tourismrelated facilities such as hospitality businesses and hotels. There has been a widespread fear of travel and social contact. The comparative research drawn upon in this article suggests that new trends might be emerging with rural and natural attractions becomin…

Life as a Networked Fan
In studying how fans live their lives online, a common lens has been to consider fandom as fan community (e.g. Sullivan, 2019). Modern digital social networks appear to be complicating this picture, with some scholars suggesting that online fandoms are fragmenting (e.g. Coppa, 2014). In this work, we report on a variety of case studies carried out using ethnographic and survey methods. These examine examples of fans whose networks span both onlin…
Beyond fandom
With the release of the novel Outlander (1991) by American author Diana Gabaldon and the subsequent television adaptation in 2014, Scotland has experienced an exponential rise in screen tourism which is being dubbed the ‘ Outlander effect’. While the steady influx of Outlander fans is mostly perceived as an economic boon, media outlets and heritage agencies have begun reporting damages to Scottish heritage sites due to increased Outlander -relate…
