Welcome to 2024 at

Far From The Madding Crowd!

Let us help you beat the January blues with a jam-packed agenda of author visits, events, brand new releases, special editions and more!

We start 2024 with a visit from one of our favourite authors: Louise Welsh (The Cutting Room, Second Cut & many more novels) will be here in Linlithgow NEXT Wednesday, 24th January! We’ll be talking to her about her brand new thriller, To The Dogs, a delicious tale about how far a man will go to protect the life he’s built when his past threatens to take it all away.

Join us in St Peter’s Church on Wednesday 24th January at 7pm.
