Edin Intl Book Fest: Alexander McCall Smith 2026

This event will be held in our new first floor creative learning space (upstairs). 

From the Georgian splendour of Edinburgh's New Town to the sunlit plains of Botswana, Alexander McCall Smith conjures incomparable worlds of warmth, humour, and humanity. This year, The Prime of Bertie Pollock brings fresh adventures to 44 Scotland Street, while The Big Cats Dance Party reunites us with the incomparable Mma Ramotswe. Join the knight of Scottish letters for a conversation full of generous-spirited storytelling. Chaired by Zinnie Harris.
