From beautiful sandy beaches and flower-laden machair to dramatic cliffs and sea stacks (with just a few puffins thrown in!) The Scottish Coastal Colouring Book is the perfect way to celebrate the beauty of Scotland’s coastline in this year of staycations. Join Book Festival favourite Eilidh Muldoon live from our studio in Edinburgh as she shows you how to create and colour your own stunning seaside scenes, then challenge Eilidh to draw the wildest imaginary places and sea creatures you can think of! Bring your paper, pens, pencils and questions about colouring for this interactive event.

This is a live event with an author Q&A. The author will be on stage, in the venue. After the event, Eilidh Muldoon will be doing an in-person book signing on the Festival site.

(The Edinburgh International Book Festival will be a hybrid Book Festival in 2021 – a fabulous online programme of over 250 events for adults and children, streamed live on the website. Alongside, they will welcome in-person audiences for a wide range of the events in the programme, which you can book on their website. This year’s Book Festival will take place from Saturday 14 to Monday 30 August at their new Festival home: the University of Edinburgh’s Edinburgh College of Art on Lauriston Place in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town.)
