Kevin, who has ties to the area, and can trace his family’s roots through the East Neuk more than 300 years, will be giving a brief talk about his career, before introducing his latest film, Edie.

The film stars Sheila Hancock as an elderly woman who embarks on a trip to fulfill her longtime dream of climbing a mountain in the Scottish Highlands – a journey during which she meets Kevin’s character.

A general Q&A with the actor, who has also appeared in Dunkirk, Sunset Song, Whisky Galore, and US TV series The Terror, will then follow.

Kevin rose to prominence when he featured in a starring role in 2013 hit Sunshine on Leith, in which he played a soldier recently returned home to Edinburgh from a tour of duty in Afghanistan.
