Beth Pearson, local North Berwick author, has kindly hand-signed some copies of her debut book, The Coorie Home

The Coorie Home explores the Scottish art of creating a home that's stylish and comfortable, an irresistibly cosy sanctuary from the outside world.

From urban tenements to remote self-build ecovillages, from landscapes reflected in bold interiors to the textile pioneers keeping traditional skills alive . . . Here is a fresh take on all that home means.

Whether you live in a castle, a croft or anywhere in between, The Coorie Home brings a uniquely Scottish sense of joy into the spaces in which we live.
