About this Event

Mathematical sheep? Navigating dogs? Architectural pigs? If you go down to the farm today you’re in for a big surprise! Helen Percy, the Highland Shepherdess, will delight all nature lovers, and animal lovers with her books Skirly Crag and Whistlebare. The creatures that share her kitchen – wild or tame, house trained or destructive – will steal your heart. But be prepared to cry as well as to laugh. She brought her dog, her duck and her horse to the launch of Skirly Crag in 2025, so put on your wellies and come along to the farmyard!

ScotlandsFest is Luath Press' annual festival during the Edinburgh fringe, celebrating the vibrant literary, cultural and political landscape of Scotland. There are many Scotlands, so many ideas of what Scotland is and can be. Each of us carries our own vision, our own experiences and our own perspectives of our nation. At ScotlandsFest, we celebrate these many Scotlands as seen through the eyes of the poet, the artist and the scholar.

Whether you live here or are visiting, make the most of your time at the Fringe. Discover ScotlandsFest. Big thinking in a small country – thought-provoking discussions, immersive storytelling, history, poetry, politics and more.
