Stuart Oliver, Stirling Council’s head of Economic Development and Culture, said: “‘Off the Page’ is back with a bang for 2022, and our staff have put together an exciting line-up of Scottish writing talent that will entertain, spark discussion and unleash people’s inner creativity.

“Following the challenges of the pandemic, it’s fantastic that major cultural festivals in Stirling are welcoming audiences back at such an important milestone in the city’s history.”
