Events

For this year’s closing event, Tidelines brings together two stars of Scotland’s new generation of writers. Both hailing from Airdrie, Graeme Armstrong and Len Pennie have reinvigorated the Scots language for the 21st century. This conversation will shine a fascinating spotlight on what it means to grow up in Scotland today.

Get ready to go on a journey around the world in idioms, proverbs, and general nonsense! Drawing on his book, The Wheel is Spinning but the Hamster is Dead, Adam will present fascinating, ridiculous and hilarious translations from every corner of the globe.

We are thrilled to welcome food writer and 2022 MasterChef finalist Sarah Rankin to Tidelines with her debut cookbook Kith – a celebration of Scottish flavours and seasonality.
