Hawthornden Castle Write and live for a month in a Scottish castle.
For the Hawthornden residency, you have to write a letter to the director, requesting an application form:
Hawthornden Castle
The International Retreat for Writers
Lasswade
Midlothian
EH18 1EG UK
The application form has to be submitted in hard copy. (I wrote mine by hand.) You also need two professional references. It's a slow process, so sending a letter asking for an application might make sense even at a moment when it would be difficult or impossible to travel.
