Join us for the virtual launch of Walter Scott 250!
A spectacular light show will launch the international celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the life and works of Sir Walter Scott.
The night sky at Smailholm Tower, in the Scottish Borders, will be lit up by the world premiere of a brand-new short film of the Young Scott, created by video artist, Andy McGregor.
