One of the UK’s foremost political correspondents, this event sees Iain Macwhirter discuss the key issues surrounding Scottish independence. Coinciding with the release of the newly revised paperback version of Road to Referendum, Macwhirter will take you on a journey through the history of the UK, showing where the road might lead Scotland with unparalleled insight.

A companion to the landmark three-part television STV series of the same name, Road to Referendum is the essential guide to Scotland’s biggest decision, looking back through Scottish history at the social, political, and economic changes that have seen the rise of the Scottish nationalism, and to the potential end of the United Kingdom.

Alongside selective screenings from the hit TV show, Iain Macwhirter will discuss this and more in what promises to be an exciting and informative evening. The event also offers the opportunity for audience participation through a Q&A on the night, as well as through the use of a dedicated Twitter hash tag, #askiain.

Please note: unfortunately this event is not accessible for wheelchairs due to the layout of the venue.
