Muriel Spark 100 chairwoman Jenny Niven said: "There is so much to explore in Ms Spark's work, from her incisive commentary, to her startling poetry, to her ability to effortlessly weave folk tradition with biting satire.

"It's a particularly interesting time too to consider her legacy, as a Scottish writer who was fiercely international in her approach and who broke through a great many barriers in her career.

"It's testament to her range and relevance that so many Scottish organisations will engage with her work and legacy throughout 2018 and we are looking forward enormously to this varied and unusual programme."
