Tarbert Book Festival a real page turner

Some good books, interesting people and a fine glass of gin to round off the day, that sounds like a great way to spend tomorrow (Saturday).

The Stonefield Castle plays host to the Tarbert Book Festival, which has been a highlight of the village’s festival programme since 2013.

Wildlife writer and illustrator Jane Smith opens the day, followed by Dougie Stang, author of The Bone Cave: A Journey through Myth and Memory. He is followed by Dr Kerri Andrews who will be discussing her work, including Wanderers: A History of Women Walking.

Then in the evening there will be a tasting with Kintyre Gin with Beinn an Tuirc Distillers from Torrisdale Castle Estate.

The festival is a ticketed event; visit the website www.tarbertbookfestival.org
