Digging peat, digging trenches, digging graves. #IntoThePeatlands is about those often overlooked moorland creatures- people. Hear more tomorrow morning 11:00am with @DonaldMurray56 @edbookfest @Birlinnbooks 

Totally bowled over by this stunning display for my book #IntoThePeatlands by Evan from Waterstones on Princes Street, Edinburgh. Love it!

26 years ago I first became a bookseller for @Waterstones on Princes Street, now there are copies of my book #IntoThePeatlands in @Waterstones_Edi (and @edbookfest – official publication date 6th Sept) @BirlinnBooks 

JMW Turner’s journey #IntoThePeatlands didn’t ignore the toil of peat cutting for subsistence crofters despite the rainbow’s offer of spiritual redemption. Hear more @edbookfest Sunday 11:00 am @BirlinnBooks @Tate
