Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh giving talk on his career

Famed Scottish author Irvine Welsh is to make an appearance in St Andrews later in the month.

An Evening with Irvine Welsh will take place at the town hall at 8pm on Friday March 23 and has been organised by local bookseller Topping and Company, based in Greyfriars Garden.

Welsh is perhaps best known for his 1993 classic Trainspotting, which was subsequently turned into a hit film starring Ewan MacGregor, and his latest book Dead Men’s Trousers looks at how beloved characters like Renton, Begbie, Sickboy and Spud have moved on over the years.
