Wigtown Book Festival
Held in Scotland's National Book Town, Wigtown Book Festival is a ten day celebration of stories, set in the breath-taking landscape of Galloway, South West Scotland. With a prestigious cast of authors, journalists, broadcasters, poets, performers and storytellers visiting each year, in a town that boasts more books than people, our Festival merges scale with small town charm.
