The Iain Banks Appreciation Society has three objectives:
1. To celebrate the life and writing of Mr. Iain Banks, Scottish author, who died on 9th June 2013.
2. To promote the literary landscape of Scotland; communicating engaging visual images.
3. To recognise and celebrate the contribution that malt whisky has made to Scottish literature, stimulating new creative writing.
Activity:
In pursuit of these objectives, members of the Iain Banks Appreciation Society will gather at Castle Dounie, near Crinan, Argyll, on one fine June evening each year. Our next meeting will be on Saturday 22th June 2019.
