The Atlantic Islands Festival will not be taking place in 2011.
Sorry for any disappointment caused.
The first ever Atlantic Islands Festival and Geopoetics Summer School took place on the Isle of Luing in Argyll from Saturday 4 to Saturday 11 July 2009. This was a great opportunity to visit a beautiful island, learn about geopoetics and take part in a wide variety of events from talks and guided walks about Hebridean bird and plant life to ceilidhs, drama and gaelic singing workshops for children, a boat trip and a slate sculpture competition. The Atlantic Islands have much in common in a fascinating past and challenging future, and folk from Easdale, Seil, Bath, Belfast and different parts of Scotland joined with many islanders in the Festival and contributed to a discussion about the Atlantic Islands Centre which the Isle of Luing Community Trust proposes to build in the conservation village of Culllipool.

Now that the festival is over we hope that participants will find time to share their output for inclusion in the festival website so that we can show the creative results of what has been an amazing week!
