The Innerpeffray Lecture 2022- Jim Mackintosh – Poets and the Power of Storytelling

We are delighted to announce that Jim Mackintosh will be giving the next  Innerpeffray Lecture on Thursday 24th February at 7pm for 7.30pm start in the Schoolroom.

2022 is Year of Storytelling – it has never been more relevant as we’ve found ourselves retreating into our own worlds and seeking escape through books and the spoken word. In his lecture Jim will venture into the foundations of storytelling and its contemporary and continuing relevance.  Illustrated with the work of writers like Robert Burns, William Soutar, Violet Jacob, Hugh Miller, Nan Shepherd, Hamish Henderson and George Mackay Brown, and drawing and quoting from their work and others, join us for an evening that celebrates the power of stories.
Tickets priced £15 including a drink on arrival, can be purchased from the Library and here.  

You can purchase the celebration volume of  the poetry of  George Mackay Brown  Beyond the Swelkie, published by Tippermuir books and edited by Jim Mackintosh and Paul Phillipou from the Innerpeffray shop—and copies will be available on the night.
