Andy Wightman: Who Owns Scotland? Wed 20 Aug 15:00 - 16:00 Live streaming from Edinburgh International Book Festival This event will be held in our new first floor creative learning space (upstairs). Ten years ago Andy Wightman – a former Member of the Scottish Parliament with the Scottish Greens and a tireless campaigner over issues around land ownership and reform in Scotland – published The Poor Had No Lawyers, a definitive investigation into just who owns the country’s urban and rural land, and how they came to acquire it. Now, with an updated edition just published, he joins us to discuss a topic no less urgent today. Chaired by Ruth Wishart Categories: Non-fiction, Politics & Society Tickets are pay what you can.PT1H2025-08-20Edin Intl Book Fest: Andy Wightman"Edin Intl Book Fest: Andy Wightman"
