From David Hume to Robert Burns, Blind Harry to Muriel Spark, James Boswell to Margaret Oliphant, meet the congenial ghosts of famous Edinburgh writers at their fireside, and hear lost voices live again – poets, diarists, storytellers and philosophers. Happy literature hour, hosted by author and playwright, Donald Smith. Each session will celebrate writers from a different century – 1400s, 1500s, 1700s, 1800s and 1900s. These events mark the 900th anniversary of Edinburgh, and 20 years since it became the world's first UNESCO City of Literature.
