Wigtown became Scotland’s National Book Town in 1998, a mecca for booklovers drawn to this beautiful part of southwest Scotland by its secondhand bookshops. In January 2012, it was also designated Scotland’s most creative small town in the inaugural Creative Place Awards. www.wigtown-booktown.co.uk
