Mhairi Black, Gordon Buchanan, Michael Pedersen

Stuart Maconie hears from Mhairi Black鈥檚 oh her move in to comedy, Gordon Buchanan on his worldwide wildlife adventures, and Michael Pedersen on being Edinburgh鈥檚 Makar.

Natural history presenter and cameraman Gordon Buchanan鈥檚 new book In The Hide is a look back at some of his greatest adventures across the world, from Mumbai to Mongolia.

In 2015 Mhairi Black became the youngest MP elected to the House of Commons since the 1800s. After stepping down at the 2024 General Election, she turned her mind to her tell-all comedy show Politics Isn鈥檛 For Me which took last year鈥檚 Fringe by storm.

Edinburgh鈥檚 Makar Michael Pedersen writes about friendship, grief and pretending to be a cat. The newest addition to his expanding body of works is his debut novel, Muckle Flugga.
