  Romanno Bridge - Andrew Greig - Paperback
  'Romanno Bridge' is a new adventure from the acclaimed novelist and poet Andrew Greig. The hunt for the crowning stone of the Dalriadic kings, Jacob's Pillow, the Stone of Scone - whatever it is, it is worth enough to make life cheap for some and dear for others - has begun.

There will also be How-To workshops for would-be writers, and a Burns celebration. A writing competition, Fearie Tales Writing Competition, is looking for spooky stories, and a book fair will be held each day.
