Fascinating to read how 'Embroidering Her Truth' by Clare Hunter Clare Hunter inspired Dior's new Cruise Collection. Brilliant to see the spotlight on textile arts, women's creativity and politics in fashion.

Thanks to The Open University for the chance to hear Andrew O' Hagan interviewed by Andrew Marr Edinburgh International Book Festival last night. A hugely entertaining and uplifting evening. No punches pulled on arts support in Scotland (or lack thereof), and fascinating on the future of writing.

We are delighted to be partnering with SALTIRE SOCIETY to launch this excellent prose book, which is a memoir-esque journey through the teenage travails of 'Jed.' More here, from the back cover:

Very sorry to hear of the sudden death of Alex Salmond, former FM & recipient of our Fletcher of Saltoun Award with Donald Dewar & Jim Wallace. Passionate about culture and history, he spoke on our 80th anniversary on 'Inspiring Scotland'. Our condolences to his family & friends.
