The National Library of Scotland’s Festival of Broadcasting is coming to the West End.
And some of the country's best-known TV and radio presenters will be taking part.
Names include journalist and presenter Shereen Nanjiani, award-winning news reporter and political editor Colin Mackay, sports journalist Jane Lewis, comedian and presenter Julia Sutherland, broadcaster and writer Hugh Dan MacLennan, musician Mary Ann Kennedy and comedian and presenter Ray Bradshaw.
All will be taking part in a special series of panel discussions, Q&As and screenings.
The festival is celebrating 100 years of Scottish broadcasting, and all events are free.
'Evolved'
And a bulk of events take place between March 28 and April 1 at the National Library, Kelvin Hall in Glasgow.
Scotland’s first radio transmission was broadcast from the Kelvin Hall on 24 January 1923 – two months before the BBC’s initial wireless broadcast.
The Library’s Broadcaster in Residence, presenter and writer Alistair Heather, said: “Join us at the Kelvin Hall for events around sports broadcasting, the news and loads more.
“We’ll be looking back on 100 years of broadcasting and how it has evolved.
We want people to come along, bring their expertise and share their experiences.

“Some of the biggest names in broadcasting will be talking about how we now report the news and the struggle to report amid disinformation on social media.
“We’ll also look at diversity of voices – having our Scottishness represented and the increasing confidence we have in our own culture and how we are reflected in broadcasting.
“We want people to come along, bring their expertise and share their experiences.”
Alistair is hosting three Festival events – panels on Gaelic and Scots, news and sports.
Other highlights of the Festival include ‘Women on the wireless’, ‘Cine[sthesia]: Deaf heritage on screen’, and a Family Day with interactive workshops, displays and activities.
