The two framed pages, containing The Ballad of Nearly Headless Nick, will be on display at the Wigtown festival. The story was originally written as part of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets but edited out before publication.
The Wigtown Book Festival runs from 24 September to 3 October.
The manuscripts will be displayed at ReadingLasses bookshop. They were donated by Rowling to the Scottish Language Dictionaries in 2005 to help fund a new Scottish language dictionary.

In Scotland, the festival has become second only to the Edinburgh Book Festival in stature. In the past, guests have included Kate Adie, Joan Bakewell, Magnus Magnusson as well as many local writers.
The two framed pages of the Harry Potter manuscript, signed by JK Rowling will be a tremendous boost for this year's event.
However, the Wigtown and Harry Potter relationship dates back to the Chamber of Secrets when a character says, "My favourite Quidditch team is the Wigtown Wanderers. Finest Team in the League!"
It's therefore fitting that two pages from this manuscript will go on show in Wigtown, the home of the Wigtown Wanderers quidditch team. ▲ Collapse
