Our 2026 programme was already a banger - but we couldn't resist bringing you one last event to close the festival in style. The legends that are Val McDermid and Denise Mina will now be closing the show at the Albert Halls at 6pm on Sunday the 20th September. This is sure to be a popular event, so get your tickets will you can.
You the Jury - Extra Session Added
Calling all armchair detectives! Due to popular demand, our
You the Jury events, sponsored by The Faculty of Advocates, sold out very
quickly. That's why we've added an extra session to the programme on
Saturday the 19th of September at 13:15pm.
This enthralling courtroom drama, written by Douglas Skelton and
based on a vintage case (but updated) stars real-life lawyers Laura Thomson KC
and Frances McMenamin KC, forensic experts Professors Lorna Dawson and Dr James
Grieve, and chartered psychologist Professor Lara Frumkin, along with court
staff.
Forget the histrionics and cries of objection. Forget a tetchy
judge banging a gavel. This is a compelling, true to life theatrical experience
which takes place in a working court room.
And you could be on the jury!
We know that many of you were disappointed
when our Lee Child tickets sold out. Thankfully, there is an alternative way to
watch the Reacher novelist's appearance at Bloody Scotland. Digital
tickets for his event, which will be streamed live on Friday the 18th of
September at 6.45pm and available on catch up, cost just £6.75. Alternatively,
you can also purchase a digital pass for £60.75 which gives
you access to all 15 streaming events.
Bloody Scotland: The Podcast
Pitch Perfect is our annual opportunity for unpublished writers to pitch their work to a panel of industry experts. Many of our former pitchers have gone on to bag book deals including: Kate Foster, D.V. Bishop, Matt Wesolowski, Alison Belsham and Joseph Knox. This year’s judging panel are Literary Agent, Diana Beaumont, Journalist and author Lisa Howells
(Crime Monthly), and Stephen Cameron, Creative Director of Into Books.
The deadline for entering is: Friday the 17th of July.
Our Crime in the Spotlight scheme shines a spotlight on new
crime writing talent during the festival. Every year we invite new and emerging
published crime writers to apply for a slot to read out a short sample of their
work before one of our big Albert Halls sessions in Stirling in September.
You are eligible to apply for Crime in the Spotlight if you, have
never appeared on the programme at Bloody Scotland before and are early in your
crime writing career (your first or second published book, but no more).
The deadline for entering Crime in the Spotlight is:
Friday the 10th of July.
