About this Event

Artists have long appreciated Iona’s natural beauty, its exquisite colours and the quality of its ever-changing light. Photographer, writer and longtime visitor to Iona, join Barbara Sellars, author of Iona with Love as she shares her own passion for this place and her sensory experiences of the island’s varied moods and details – from sunshine to storm, coast to hinterland, jewel-like pebbles to flowering machair and from the colours of dawn to the last of the light on the sand. Enjoy a rich and evocative expression of this island’s intrinsic loveliness.

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.
