As part of Previously - Scotland's History Festival - academics and actors will be coming together to recreate the Scots language tradition of 'flyting' whereby two poets in Scots try to outdo eachother by trading insults and arguments. This was a popular pastime at the Scottish royal court. If you would like to go along tickets are £10. The event will run from 9.30 until 11pm at The Real Mary King's Close, 2 Warriston's Close, High Street, Edinburgh. For more information please phone 0845 070 6244.
