5-6 October: BOOKMARK Book Festival, Community Campus, Blairgowrie
‘Illuminations: from manuscripts to mountaintops’
All the best writing throws new lights onto people, places and events – some famous, some overlooked; some imagined, some all too real. This year’s BOOKMARK Festival (October 5 -6) is proud to present 10 events which will rekindle our imaginations and interests. Come and listen to a great collection of our finest writers from the south of England to the north of Scotland as they celebrate renowned illustrators, regale us with eye-opening adventures, showcase first class fiction from all genres and introduce us to exceptional figures from the past. We promise an illuminating weekend to remember!
16 November: Philip Paris and The Last Witch of Scotland
Celebrating Book Week Scotland, Philip Paris will be joining us to discuss his latest novel.
2 pm St Catherine’s Hall, George Street, Blairgowrie
