Join Stuart McHardy at ScotlandsFest, Luath Press's literary festival during the Edinburgh Fringe.

Join Stuart McHardy, author of Scotland’s Geomythography and look at ancient Scotland through new eyes. Through a lifetime of research as a musician and storyteller, combined with decades of teaching, McHardy has forged a new approach to understanding Scotland’s past. Combining archaeology and history with place-name and landscape analysis, and drawing information from oral tradition, he has found evidence to reveal how our ancient forebears understood their world. Behind modern beliefs and assumptions lies a network of local, and national, cultural treasure that has much to teach us in our ever-changing world.

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.
