Since its inception, Book Week Scotland has offered online content as part of its national programme, so that you can get involved in the fun whichever way suits you best. This year we’ve curated themed boxsets as YouTube Playlists, gathering together some of Book Week Scotland’s greatest hits, so you can revisit a favourite moment or discover something new.
