ScotlandsFest: In Conversation - Richard Demarco

About ScotlandsFest: In Conversation - Richard Demarco

For Edinburgh Festival and Fringe legend Richard Demarco, the history of Scotland begins in the words of the great medieval poets Henryson and Dunbar, the composer Robert Carver and the Scotichronicon, the first important history of Scotland written by Walter Bower. Demarco’s Edinburgh Arts programme, Sandy Moffat’s portraiture and Alan Riach’s work on Scottish literature all follow in their footsteps. These three great patrons of Scottish culture come together for a rambling and enlightening discussion on the state of the Edinburgh festivals and Scotland as a whole.
