A ten day literary celebration in Scotland’s National Book Town

A very warm welcome

How to be happy. What whiskies to drink. How to be wrong. And how to write. How to be green. And to have green fingers. Who came before us. Where be monsters and why love hurts. Why the financial world stopped turning. How to juggle (and not just financially). How to be a pilgrim, an explorer, the perfect host. These are just some of the things you can discover at this year’s Wigtown Book Festival.  But, just as importantly, you will find good company, fine food, wonderful bookshops and some of the most beautiful countryside in Scotland. We hope you stay a while.  Adrian Turpin, Festival Director
