Push the Boat Out and the Fingal Present: Hollie McNish and Michael Pedersen – Sat 8 Nov
In partnership with the Fingal Hotel, we are delighted to welcome you to a very special nautical experience. Join us on board for an exclusive festival warm up with Sunday Times bestseller, Hollie McNish, and prize-winning author and Edinburgh Makar, Michael Pedersen. Alongside lively discussion, Hollie and Michael will read from their new work: Hollie’s much anticipated new collection Virgin and Michael’s magical novel, Muckle Flugga.
In what promises to be a unique experience, we invite you to soak up the atmosphere of the historic Fingal, the last ship to be built by the Blythswood Shipbuilding Company and now a luxury floating hotel as we enjoy the spellbinding company of two of the UK’s most exciting contemporary writers.
