To Absent Friends draws to a close

To Absent Friends has drawn to a close for this year. The festival of storytelling and remembrance ran from 1-7 November, although some events are still taking place into late November.

Activities took place from Caithness in the north to Dumfries & Galloway in the south, as well as online. Highlights included a reception at the Scottish Parliament and a community To Absent Friends supper at Broughton St. Mary's in Edinburgh.

A gallery of photos can be seen on the To Absent Friends site, as well as a full list of festival events.

A report on the festival is being written and will be available shortly, and then planning will start for next year's edition.
