Ever Present Past is a series of events creatively responding to the bicentenary of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. Writer Nicola White and artist Claire Barclay will be joined by Trevor Cromie to talk about the culmination of the programme - an Exhibition in The Talbot Rice Gallery.

It's part nature writing, part travel book, part anthropological/cultural commentary on the strange and hidden world of cargo shipping - he'll be joining Janice to say Ahoy!
