This year's Wigtown Spring Book Weekend is subtitled 'A Sense of Place', and has a line-up which should get us all over to Scotland's National Booktown - book your tickets early!
Theresa Munoz will be talking on 'Tom Leonard's Glasgow', Carol Hill will explore whether 'A Woman's Place is in the Countryside', or whether a rural lifestyle may be holding us back (oh dear!) and, for sheer pleasure (with a touch of environmental urgency), I recommend Fiona Russell, Emma Strang and Dave Borthwick discussing 'The Tracks We Leave - People and Place'.
Children's events include a paper making workshop and talks from leading children's authors Alan Temperley, Simon Puttock and Lari Don.
The Swallow Theatre are proud to present a play by Murray Watts, 'Mr Darwin's Tree' in the evening.
