The Baillie Gifford Borders Book Festival is taking place this week at Abbotsford House and tickets are still available to buy from the Box Office as well as online.
This year’s Festival sees a host of big names from politics, sport, history, crime and current affairs in more than 60 live events over six days at the home of Sir Walter Scott from November 2-7.
