SCOTTISH actor and Yes campaigner Alan Cumming will join Nicola Sturgeon and Val McDermid for a festive edition of their upcoming in-conversation event.
Cumming, who was recently announced as the artistic director of Pitlochry Festival Theatre, will join the pair at their In The Company of Books event.
He will be joined by the author of bestselling book The Girl on the Train Paula Hawkins.
The guests will join former first minister Sturgeon and crime writer McDermid to explore the joys of reading alongside a few glasses of mulled wine.
Cumming said: “Val and Nicola are both huge inspirations to me and I can’t wait to share a stage to talk about our shared passion for books.”
The event will take place at the Assembly Hall in Edinburgh on Sunday, December 15 and tickets are available HERE.
Hawkins added: “There are few things I like more than a trawl through someone’s bookshelves, so I’m looking forward to having a good chat with Val and Nicola about the books we’ve loved and been inspired by over the years.”
