Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon will appear at Dollar Academy on Tuesday, August 4 for an ‘in conversation’ event.
Scotland’s longest-serving leader will discuss a lifetime in politics following the paperback release of her memoir ‘Frankly’.
The SNP politician writes about her relationship with Alex Salmond, involvement in the 2014 Independence Referendum, and steering the country through a global pandemic.
Tickets for the Clacks event can be purchased at The Wee Bookshop’s website.
It gets underway at 7.30pm, lasting for an hour at the school’s auditorium before a Q and A session gets underway. There will also be an opportunity for attendees to have their copies signed.
In the book Ms Sturgeon also describes feeling “utter disbelief and despair” as her home was raided by police, who arrested her husband Peter Murrell back in April 2023.
She went on to be arrested herself as part of the inquiry into SNP finances two months later, which in the book she calls the “worst day” of her life. She was later exonerated but Mr Murrell faces an embezzlement charge.
Other topics covered in the publication include controversy over trying to legislate on transgender issues and criticism of Harry Potter author JK Rowling, along with misogyny and her personal life.
