WISHING my CITIZEN friends and colleagues good luck as they take to the stage at Edinburgh International Book Festival this evening.

In spring 2024 EIBF called for people from Edinburgh to submit stories about the former Royal Infirmary, to capture and honour the experiences and memories that people connect with the building’s previous life.
Tonight’s local writers readers will joined by special guest Lisa Williams to perform their work and commemorate the building’s rich history.
The event is free – well worth seeing if you can make it along!
