Back again for year three, this hip young festival spreads its wings to a new city for Margins Aberdeen. Set over two weekends, confirmed acts so far include Robert Newman, FOUND, Alasdair Gray, Christopher Brookmyre, Janice Galloway and more for six days of music, books and debate.

Esther Woolfson's book Corvus established her as one of our leading nature writers, and she currently observes the wildlife of Aberdeen, where she lives. RSPB naturalist Conor Mark Jamieson's Silent Spring Revisited updated Rachel Carson's environmental classic for the 21st century.
