Birlinn Ltd officially launched the App “Scotlandby-the-Book” on 15 September 2023. It’s a very informative platform with books on history, geology, mapping, cooking, fiction, travel, poetry, politics, and more. It’s for anyone who wants to explore and learn about Scotland.
Birlinn Ltd, one of the Edinburgh-based independent publishers, had partnered with digital agency Zudu to launch this App.
The Publicity and Marketing Director, Jan Rutherford, came up with his idea of presenting people with authentic information about Scotland in a technology-driven and accessible way. It’s for travelers, students, enthusiasts, or anyone in any part of the world.
He said:
“With the shift to mobile-focused business models, we are excited to expand our digital offering with an intuitive app to reach more readers and different communities. This App is for book lovers, travelers, students, and staycationers – anyone with an eye on Scotland – offering an immersive book experience through the stories of a nation.”
Birlinn has thirty-two years of experience publishing books on Scottish life. After all, some of the most life-changing books stay with us forever, and Birlinn wants to create an impact.
Not only this, but Birlinn aims to extend this venture and has joined forces with Tanner Ritchie, a leader in historical digital publishing, to create Scotland’s History Online.
