In her welcome in the programme Ullapool Book Festival’s honorary president Louise Welsh said: “Literary festivals abound across Britain and beyond, but Ullapool is unique in its combination of local and international.

“The quality of the writers involved is clear from a glance at the programme.

“So what draws these writers here? The incomparable countryside, warm welcome and superb food (including an impressive array of tray bakes) undoubtedly play a part.

“But the draw is more than that – remember writers are not easily extracted from their pages. Ullapool Book Festival offers the opportunity for a high level, continuing conversation between writers of different backgrounds and genres and an intelligent, involved audience.

“It’s the lively discussions that pull me back to Ullapool and which I will miss most this year when I am in New Zealand on a Scottish Writers’ Fellowship.”
