East Lothian

Great Hall | 2.00pm | £8, £6 (c)

Three writers of recent books about East Lothian offer different perspectives. Alistair Moffat will set the scene and talk about geology and history, while Roddy Martine’s wonderful, quirky and highly personal This Too Shall Pass traces 900 years of family connections as it paints a vivid portrait of the county over the centuries. In his sparkling new novel, East Fortune, James Runcie imagines lives and families which feel quintessential, as though they could only have existed in East Lothian.
