This is v cool. The wonderful #ButeMuseum had teamed all of the authors Bute Noir with an object from their collection. Here I am with a bowl from a Bronze Age cist or burial place…

A very special weekend at Bute Noir this year. It's hard to say which bits were my highlights, but they included rapping with the RedHotChilliWriters, dancing to FunLovinCrimeWriters & laughing at mad bastards Abir Mukherjee, Ed James & Anna Mazzola - Updates only. swimming in the Clyde in the rain.

The FunLovinCrimeWriters rocked a packed Bute Yard last night🎶 What a finale to our time at this wonderful new event in the heart of Rothesay♥️ VisitBute VisitScotland Chris Brookmyre Doug Johnstone Val McDermid Stuart Neville #BloodLikeMine Luca Veste Mark Billingham Print Point #buteyard
