Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox recurring event Bloody Scotland is a Scottish international crime writing festival, held annually in Stirling, Scotland. It was founded in 2012 by Tartan Noir writers Lin Anderson and Alex Gray and describes itself as "the literary festival where you can let down your hair and enjoy a drink at the bar with your favourite crime writer".[1] Its sponsors include the University of Stirling and Stirling Council.[2][3][4] In 2022 most events were held at the Albert Halls or the Tolbooth.[5]
The festival awards The McIlvanney Prize for "the best Scottish Crime book of the year" (so named in 2016 for writer William McIlvanney (1936-2015), who has been called "the Godfather of Tartan Noir"),[6] and, since 2019, the Bloody Scotland Scottish Crime Debut of the Year.[7]
