2023: Glasgow's Aye Write book festival cancelled due to funding rejection by Creative Scotland, with Scottish Government considering potential support.

Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has expressed disappointment over the cancellation of Glasgow's Aye Write book festival due to funding issues. The festival, which has been running for nearly 20 years, will not take place this year after Creative Scotland rejected its funding bid. Aye Write is organised by Glasgow Life, an arm's length leisure body of Glasgow City Council. First Minister Humza Yousaf has pledged to look at potential support the Scottish Government could provide to the festival.
