“A must attend event in Scotland’s cultural calendar”

“Wigtown doesn’t just punch above its weight when it comes to attracting big-name authors to its annual book festival, it punches above pretty much everybody else’s weight, too”

One of the “best autumn festivals in the world”

“It’s refreshingly unstressed, set in stunning landscapes and with an enviably broad and sophisticated programme”
