Wigtown Harbour

Dumfries-based artists' collective The Studio presents a new commission for the 2014 Wigtown Book Festival, supported by Homecoming 2014. With its Harbour and location at the lowest fording point of the River Bladnoch, Wigtown was at one time part of a major network of land and sea routes, including a pilgrim way to Whithorn. Inspired by this history, the event responds to these trading routes.
