Author Des Dillon provided plenty of entertainment when he appeared in Wigtown as part of a series of events organised by Kirkcudbright Book Week Society to celebrate the work done by bookshops.
Writers have visited shops across Dumfries and Galloway during February as part of the build-up to the fourth annual Kirkcudbright Book Week, which runs between March 3 and 9 (full details on www.kirkcudbrightbookweek.org)
The free events have been organised by Kirkcudbright Book Week Society, partly to promote its Book Week and also to thank bookshops for the support that they have offered the festival over recent years.
The events, staged under the title A Good Read, have been funded by a £1,500 grant from Dumfries and Galloway Council, one of fourteen awards made to cultural and heritage projects across the region, totalling more than £62,000, from the new Regional Cultural Fund 2024/25.
The event featuring Des Dillon was organised by Foggie Toddle Books, of Wigtown, and hosted in New Chapter Books, Main Street, Wigtown, and the poet, author and playwright, read from his work and answered questions from the audience.
