SCOTLAND has more literature festivals per capita than any other country in the world with more than 400,000 people attending book events in past year, according to research released today. Bookfestival Scotland, a partnership funded by Creative Scotland and Scottish Borders Council, said the growth of book festivals north of the border was “phenomenal” with events ranging from the prestigious annual Edinburgh International Book Festival, which begins today, to smaller events in Shetland, Islay, Collonsay and the Borders. Others include StAnza in St Andrews, focusing on poetry, the Scottish International Storytelling Festival and Bloody Scotland, celebrating crime novels.
