Elaine C Smith is one of Scotland’s best-known performers. Join her in conversation with her friend and ours, Tidelines Patron Andrew O’Hagan, as she charts her life through the books she has loved.
Tidelines are thrilled to welcome James Crawford, presenter of acclaimed BBC One documentary Scotland from the Sky, to this year’s festival. In his latest book ‘Wild History’, James presents a unique exploration of off-the-beaten-track sites across the length and breadth of Scotland.
Join us for an illustrated talk from poet, writer, editor and Professor of Scottish Literature at University of Glasgow, Alan Riach. With its unique blend of poetry, art, biography and national history, ‘The McDiarmid Memorandum’ maps a nation where nature is interwoven with and inseparable from our political history.
