Whether through kilts, whisky, pipers or poetry, Jews have been embracing Scottish culture with a Jewish twist for over 200 years. In our summer issue, we travel from Shetland to the Borders to investigate this distinctive history, delving into the immigrant communities of Edinburgh and Glasgow and exploring the work of refugee artists, factory-worker poets, kilt designers and Yiddish actors. We also hear from the present-day writers, artists and activists who are carving out a distinctive identity in places as far afield as Inverness, St Andrews and Aberdeen. We’ll be meeting some of them, alongside other Scottish contributors in this online event. Hosted in partnership with with Jewish Renaissance.
