The many annual celebrations shows and festivals held in Aberdeen throughout the year with programme listing and events schedule
We hosts many annual festivals which attracts people from Aberdeenshire, Grampian and the North East of Scotland. Some of them attract worldwide audiences, such as Gay Pride, RGU Film Festival, Fyvie Live, Scottish Snowdrop Festival, SPECTRA, Nuart Street Art Festival, Word, Granite Noir and the Stonehaven Fireballs held each New Year. Scottish Week is still proudly held in Peterhead - the only town in Scotland to still hold this which is dedicated to the food, drink, crafts and produce of Scotland.
Others like the Taste of Grampian, Banchory Beer Festival, Vegan Festival, Inverurie Beer Festival and SeaFest Peterhead celebrate our range of food and drink. Uniquely Food and Fiddle combines our local food, drink and music.

There are many musical festivals held throughout the year across Aberdeenshire like Stonehaven Folk Festival. Some are held in historic buildings such as the Deveron Music Festival at Duff House, Banff. Duff House and combine beauty with first class music. Others take place in our picturesque villages such as the Braemar Creative Arts Festival and the Deeside Music Festival NXNE Scotland in Royal Deeside.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."
