Join us as author Dominic Hinde introduces his new book, Drifting North; Finding a sustainable future in Scotland’s past. Dominic will be chatting to Times journalist and fellow author Gabrielle Bennett about this book and his journeys writing it followed by an audience q and a.

Past and future collide in this engaging journey through climate change, fossil capitalism, and the fight for a sustainable world. Scotland—once a pioneer of fossil capitalism and a catalyst for its global spread—now stands as a living museum of deindustrialisation, stagnation, and the search for a better future.

Journalist and sociologist Dominic Hinde travels from the treeless Highlands to the lowland cities, struggling to balance memories with aspiration. Through this journey he finds that his own sensory turmoil, shaped by recovery from a near fatal accident, mirrors the disarray of the fossil fuel transition - an uncertain passage between what was and what must be.

Part memoir, part environmental history, part travelogue, this is a compelling narrative of connections - to place, energy and the possibility of renewal. Through the lens of one country, it asks a vital question: can the lessons of the past help us build a more sustainable future?
