An Sgeulaiche [The Storyteller] first appeared as a monthly (1909-10) and later switched to quarterly periodicity (1910-11). In comparison with Guth na Bliadhna, the content was lighter, and the magazine featured mostly short stories, poetry and song (some with scores), plays, and also stories for children. According to The Celtic Who’s Who (ed. Lachlan MacBean, 1921), Alexander Neil Nicolson was the publisher and co-editor of An Sgeulaiche (1909).
