Share a dram with us this autumnAs part of Scotland's Homecoming 2009 celebrations, this autumn we'll be hosting a unique festival-within-a-festival celebrating the connections between whisky and writing. With music, tastings and some of the world's top whisky experts - including Charlie MacLean, Gavin Smith, Ian Buxton and Robin Laing and Dave Broom - it will appeal to anyone who has ever curled up with a book and a dram. Watch this space for further details. To register for our whisky email newsletter contact us at mail@wigtownbookfestival.com. Festival wins Thistle Award
The awards, organised by VisitScotland and designed to highlight excellence in Scottish tourism, were announced at a gala dinner at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on October 24th. Outgoing festival director Finn McCreath received the award from comedian Ronnie Corbett. We'd like to thank the many, many volunteers without whom this festival would never take place. We're also deeply grateful to our title sponsor Stena Line, whose financial support has allowed us to take the festival to a new level.
