Featuring Inspector Faro (13 books), his daughter Rose McQuinn (4 books and a 5th on the way), and Tam Eildor, a time travelling detective (3 books).

 

ALINE TEMPLETON—CRIME AND PLACE.

Aline will tell how a chance visit produced a series of crime novels characterised by an

intimate relationship with a rural community and a beautiful, unspoiled part of Scotland.

 

ALAN BISSETT author of the novel BOYRACERS, about fast-paced teenage exploits; and THE INCREDIBLE ADAM SPARK, Falkirk’s first superhero,

will read from, and talk about his books and writing.

 

TARTAN TRUTHS with PARAIG MACNEIL

IN GAELIC AND ENGLISH

FOR HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS AND ADULTS

Through traditional stories, songs and poems Paraig will illustrate the importance of the Breacan or tartan as the dress of the warrior Gael; and latterly symbolic of the Jacobites.
He will dispel the fabricated history, borne of commercial and military expediency,

and will demonstrate how the old plaid or feile-mor is worn.
