Mak it Yersel! Workshop Join Scottish Young Makars Leah Sinforiani & Eve McIntosh as they lead a gallus new workshop for fellow young poets. Whether you’re new to writing, seeking some encouragement, or are looking for some creative inspiration, join Leah & Eve in Edinburgh’s Scottish Poetry Library to hear why it’s so great to write poetry, what they’ve learned through their makarship and engage with writing prompts that connect you to the Scots language in the most sparkly of ways (think Kneecap meets poetry meets making new pals) The workshop will include an explanation of the Young Makar Program, alongside some readings of poetry written by Leah and Eve’s mentors, some of the biggest names on the Scottish Poetry Scene. The workshop will encourage writers to respond to these poems collaboratively, engage with Scots vocab in a new way and poetically spark off one another to MAK NEW POEMS! The Young Makars will also perform their own work, written thanks to the award. We will end by celebrating the work you’ve created in this unique new way to get into writing in the home of Scottish Poetry. Mak it doon there and mak it yersel! Eve McIntosh is an experimental poet & avid eco-horror enthusiast, born in Dundee & based in Glasgow, Scotland. She holds the title of Scottish Young Makar 2024, endorsed by the Scottish Poetry Library, & has been working on her debut poetry collection Digital Prophet, with the help of her mentor Janette Ayachi throughout her makarship. Her poetry has appeared in local Glasgow journals & zines such as GUM, From Glasgow To Saturn, Crisp Packet Poetry & Big Red Cat. Previously, she has written for METAL Magazine, mainly journalistic articles about modern art & interviews with new musicians. She has also dabbled in prose, published in QMUnicate & FLEET. Eve is currently an editor for From Glasgow To Saturn & a recent graduate from the University of Glasgow as a Master of Arts. You will find her by still bodies of water, under trees eating peaches & in the dark corners of your stairwell with a pen in hand. Leah Sinforiani is a writer and researcher from Glasgow. This year, Leah was selected by the Scottish Poetry Library as one of their Next Generation Young Makars. Her work explores the intergalactic motorways that connect class, gender and posh clothing brands. She is one of the creators of Big Red Cat Magazine and her own work can be found in From Glasgow to Saturn Journal, Joy Ride, Broth, The Yellow Paper and an upcoming book, Making History in collaboration with Glasgow University. Leah is often found thinking about the cosmos and the word gallus.

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

today is

Edinburgh Castle is really beautiful, mainly because of the great weather. It takes two to three hours to walk around, and it will be faster if you walk quickly. After entering, you can use the voucher number provided by Ctrip to exchange for a paper ticket. You can rent an interpreter for 3.5 pounds and enter the corresponding number of the attraction to listen.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

leotiger

Holly Luther Palace is worth a visit. When time permits, you must see Queen Mary&#39;s Palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds a garden party in the summer. It overlooks the throne of Arthur. The order of visits inside the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, immersive feeling the heavy atmosphere of history! !

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I have been here more than ten years ago, and this time I come again is not the same as before. There are a lot of high-tech things, but a lot less original and the most original. If you have time, you can experience it. There are interpreters in various languages, real-time, and translation with the rhythm of the on-site tour guide, which is very convenient. You can also choose a whiskey.

Edinburgh Old Town

_TI***40

it was so lovely and easy to walk around. There were loads of shops in the city centre and I would highly recommend to those who loves heritage and history.

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Night view

💎月亮宝石环游世界🌎

It is the most romantic sunset place. I have been here, it was cold but beautiful! I will not go into details about the many celebrity check-in places.
But my only deepest experience was the lyrics,
&quot;The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you&quot;
I didn&#39;t think this song was romantic before, until I climbed to the top of Carlton Mountain⛰️It was really speechless and beautiful!!
I really like this light blue gentle dusk~~Thanks to the little afterglow near sunset that day, I saw the light blue and light orange sky line in the distance, which was really extremely romantic~~Continuously touched me✨💕🌹Recommend this extremely romantic place, must go?
【Scenery】
Medieval dusk🌆, the only one in the world❤️
