EIBF Events on Sunday 26th August

• Gaelic Culture - Peppers Theatre

A highly significant literary occasion – in the year of Highland 2007, the celebration of Highland culture, literature and language, two of the leading Gaelic poets of our day launch major new collections at the Book Festival. Angus Peter Campbell's forthcoming volume features rich and resonant Scots translations as well as his own eloquent Gaelic and English. Both are mesmerising performers of their own work – come and hear the ancient language of our land.

• Gaelic Culture - Peppers Theatre

Continuing our celebration of Highland 2007, we bring new Gaelic writing from the Hebrides. The celebrated Lewis short story writer Iain Moireach (John Murray) is also a fine dramatist, and he here discusses and reads from his new collection of plays, Snìomh nan Dual.

• Literature and Culture - Peppers Theatre

The fresh force field of Kenneth White’s thinking brings new intellectual stimulation to each Book Festival. One of Scotland’s most influential exiles, internationally renowned and studied, his work, including his new discipline of ‘geopoetics’, defies stale literary boundaries. Tonight he speaks on Writing and Radicality. Come and be galvanised.
