Aberdeen Festival of Politics - A Unique Event

Organiser, Renee Slater said, “This is a unique event in Scotland. We are in an important year for our country. Whatever happens here after the referendum, Scotland will certainly be a different place.

"As citizens of Aberdeen we have the opportunity to make an impact on that future. Events such as this can only be positive.”

Please go along and join in the debate, discussion and the fun!
