ScotlandsFest: Northern Spirits, Restless Hearts

Join Janis Mackay, author of , in the fertile place where ancient Scottish folklore and new feisty fiction meet, where love is hampered by ghosts and the restless surge of the sea is always in hearing. A love story, steeped in Celtic folklore and set in the windswept coastal shores of the far north of Scotland, On a Northern Shore, takes you right there, where the gull’s lonely cry and the seal’s song can tear your heart. ‘Beautifully written’, ‘Unputdownable’, ‘Atmospheric and intriguing’.

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.
