An Evening With Irvine Welsh

Mackintosh Queen’s Cross | Friday 25 July 2025 at 7.00pm

Tickets £5.00 or £24 with a copy of Men In Love from Waterstones

Irvine Welsh joins us to launch his latest novel, Men In Love, the immediate sequel to Trainspotting, continuing the stories of Renton, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie!

Set in the late 1980s and early ’90s against the backdrop of rave culture, Men In Love follows the iconic Trainspotting crew through the dying days of Thatcher’s Britain as they do what they can to feel alive, all while asking themselves whether falling in love is the answer to their problems, or just another futile quest?

Irvine will join us for an event in the beautiful setting of Mackintosh Queen’s Cross to discuss returning to the boys, filling in this gap in their stories, and his own memories of Edinburgh in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as signing copies of Men In Love.
