Lovely day at @AbbotsfordScott yesterday to mark Scott’s 254th birthday. Thank you to its brilliant staff and volunteers who work tirelessly and innovatively to maintain the estate and house as a uniquely special place to visit.

We’ve got a novel playlist at the listening bench in the Pavilion at Abbotsford. It features an immersive audio stream themed by ‘Garden Stories’, ‘Scott’s Literary Garden’, ‘Restoration’, and ‘Sir Walter Scott’s Journal’. A visit to Abbotsford really is a feast for the senses!

It could be an April Fool but, apparently, it’s publication day for this wee book. Thanks to all at @boydellbrewer for bringing this into the world!
We were so grateful to @GerdaStevenson8 for coming along to share her poetry with our fab @ScottishLit honours students this week, and for the personal and very meaningful class discussion she paved the way for. It was a real highlight of the semester ✨
