The festival opened with Andrew Liddle’s illuminating exploration of Winston Churchill’s often overlooked Scottish years. Liddle charted Churchill’s remarkable 15-year tenure as MP for Dundee, revealing the progressive Liberal politician he once was-far from the wartime bulldog of popular imagination.
The session brought to life Churchill’s fierce electoral battle with Edwin Scrymgeour, the god-fearing teetotaller who ultimately unseated one of Britain’s most famous statesmen. Guests enjoyed a lively discussion on Churchill’s evolving legacy in Scotland, followed by a book signing with Andrew Liddle.
