We cordially invite you to become part of the James Boswell story today by becoming a 'Boswellian' - a member of our 'friends' group. To date we have nearly 300 friends and during 2013 we would like you to help us increase our list of friends to ensure that we all continue to put James Boswell's name up in lights.

In return for signing up as a 'Boswellian' you will receive advance news about this year’s Book Festival. We'll alert you to plans for an even bigger Festival in 2014. We'll also keep you apace of progress with developments at the Boswell Museum and Mausoleum in Auchinleck. This year we have a number of special festival events focusing on the Mausoleum which are attracting a lot of interest as more people recognise and share the ambition we have for this very special building.
