About this Event

Alistair Moffat best selling non-fiction author whose works include 'To the Island of Tides' and 'The Borders' will be here to talk about his most recent work 'The North Sea'.
The North Sea, Alistair Moffat spends a year travelling its shores to better understand our relationship to this life-giving and destructive sea. Running from Kent and the Rhine estuary to the Norwegian coast and the tip of the Shetland islands, it has been home to warring tribes, foreign invaders, lost civilisations and holidaymakers. With a history that spans millennia, these waters contain a multitude of stories.
‘A rollicking, surprising, often moving personal history of a big part of the British story that has long needed its own narrative. Page-turningly entertaining’ Andrew Marr
