A cracker this year. Going to Alan Warner, Iain Banks, Rhona Cameron and the poetry one with Henry Hart (my creative writing professor!)

I'm liking the look of the Scottish crime talk, Iain Banks, Roddy Woomble and the Augustus Brown popular science talk.

I've been to a few before and they've all been really good.

Bernard MacLaverty! Excellent, but whats Irish studies without some Seamus Heaney? And Scottish crime without Chistopher Brookmyre?

This is a really good line-up actually.

I'm slightly disappointed that this isn't just loads of people saying "fit", "quine" and "loon" for a week or two.
