“Dark Nights, Dark Deeds… Death in Grantown”… The Wee Crime Festival is back in Grantown-On-Spey for its 9th year! It will run from Friday the 27th of October to Sunday the 29th. We have a brilliant line up of authors – some familiar faces, and some new. We have Douglas Skelton, Caro Ramsay, Michael J. Malone, S. G. MacLean, Olga Wojtas, James Oswald, Lesley Kelly, and Mark Leggatt.
On the Friday night we do “Pie, Pint and a Play” with the authors, followed on the Saturday by a day packed with author sessions with “The Great Big Crime Fiction Quiz” in the evening. On Sunday morning there will be “The Morning After the Crime Before”, a morning of bacon rolls, tea and coffee, which is followed by our final author session, “Thrills and Spills”.
Tickets available from The Bookmark and subject to availability
Moray’s earliest surviving tower house is reputed to have been built for Scotland’s vilest man- Alexander Stewart, the Wolf of Badenoch.
Drumin Castle is an impressive medieval fortification standing on a commanding bluff overlooking the confluence of the River Livet and the River Avon.
Once we get to the castle, you’ll learn a bit about the architecture, history, and the notorious Wolf, whose evil deeds continue to cast a long shadow in Moray’s history.
This castle has recently reopened after masonry repairs. Access to the first floor is once again possible via a narrow, stone staircase. Sensible footwear is recommended.
Toilets are not available on site.
Children are very welcome to attend.
Well behaved dogs are welcome.

TOMS will present a very different Christmas concert, when the 24 voices of Musick Fyne will perform a golden hour of candlelit choral music for Christmas, specialising in the rich church music of the Renaissance.
Musick Fyne often performs for charitable events, so ticket sales revenue, after expenses, will be donated to the Church, and will be used to distribute to those in local communities who would especially benefit from some extra funds at Christmas.
The LONDON BRIDGE PIANO TRIO consists of Ben Hancox on violin, Cara Berridge on cello and Daniel Tong playing piano. The group will play a programme of Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert.
