Welcome to Bookfestival Scotland, the website where you can find details of the 36 amazing book, storytelling and poetry festivals which take place from January to November each year. No other country has so many per capita and they range from the world's largest at Edinburgh to a scatter of smaller but perfectly formed events from Shetland to Wigtown and many places in between. Each year the world’s best writers appear to talk about their work in some of Scotland’s most beautiful places. Come and join them!

Bookfestival Scotland is a partnership and all of our members have their own pages with details of the dates of their festivals, how to contact them directly, their precise locations and a full programme as soon as it is published. Members’ pages show a tremendous variety of literary festivals, some are general, others concentrate on poetry, storytelling or have special events for young readers.
