‘There is no such thing as Scottish art, only art in Scotland which is part of a European tradition’ says Richard Demarco CBE, who has been to every Edinburgh Festival since its inception in 1947. The festival's origins are firmly rooted in an international outlook, one that Demarco, a cultural pilgrim, continues to embody. Demarco’s Europe, the third of a trilogy written in collaboration with Edinburgh-based journalist Roddy Martine, is dedicated to the importance of Scotland’s ongoing cultural engagement with continental Europe. With existential threats all around, can art provide a healing balm?
