Mak it Yersel! Workshop Join Scottish Young Makars Leah Sinforiani & Eve McIntosh as they lead a gallus new workshop for fellow young poets. Whether you’re new to writing, seeking some encouragement, or are looking for some creative inspiration, join Leah & Eve in Edinburgh’s Scottish Poetry Library to hear why it’s so great to write poetry, what they’ve learned through their makarship and engage with writing prompts that connect you to the Scots language in the most sparkly of ways (think Kneecap meets poetry meets making new pals) The workshop will include an explanation of the Young Makar Program, alongside some readings of poetry written by Leah and Eve’s mentors, some of the biggest names on the Scottish Poetry Scene. The workshop will encourage writers to respond to these poems collaboratively, engage with Scots vocab in a new way and poetically spark off one another to MAK NEW POEMS! The Young Makars will also perform their own work, written thanks to the award. We will end by celebrating the work you’ve created in this unique new way to get into writing in the home of Scottish Poetry. Mak it doon there and mak it yersel! Eve McIntosh is an experimental poet & avid eco-horror enthusiast, born in Dundee & based in Glasgow, Scotland. She holds the title of Scottish Young Makar 2024, endorsed by the Scottish Poetry Library, & has been working on her debut poetry collection Digital Prophet, with the help of her mentor Janette Ayachi throughout her makarship. Her poetry has appeared in local Glasgow journals & zines such as GUM, From Glasgow To Saturn, Crisp Packet Poetry & Big Red Cat. Previously, she has written for METAL Magazine, mainly journalistic articles about modern art & interviews with new musicians. She has also dabbled in prose, published in QMUnicate & FLEET. Eve is currently an editor for From Glasgow To Saturn & a recent graduate from the University of Glasgow as a Master of Arts. You will find her by still bodies of water, under trees eating peaches & in the dark corners of your stairwell with a pen in hand. Leah Sinforiani is a writer and researcher from Glasgow. This year, Leah was selected by the Scottish Poetry Library as one of their Next Generation Young Makars. Her work explores the intergalactic motorways that connect class, gender and posh clothing brands. She is one of the creators of Big Red Cat Magazine and her own work can be found in From Glasgow to Saturn Journal, Joy Ride, Broth, The Yellow Paper and an upcoming book, Making History in collaboration with Glasgow University. Leah is often found thinking about the cosmos and the word gallus.

Edinburgh Castle is worth a visit, it is a great symbol of Scotland and Edinburgh, it is located on the top of the castle rock in Edinburgh, very obvious from all corners of the city centre. 120 meters above sea level, overlooking the whole city of Edinburgh

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
