About this Event

Submarines, tunnels, train rides and a new pair of false teeth! Nothing is off-limits as one woman crosses borders en route to the World Cup – or at least to the nearest pub with a big screen! With a showcase of the poems from her collections, and a brand new World Cup edition of the celebrated there will be tears, humour, despair, goals and celebration all shoehorned into a lively hour of poetic mastery. Hold onto your sporrans, you’re not going to want to miss this!

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.
