Highlight Talks
Friends of Robert Burns Birthplace Museum continue the regular, free, Highlight Talks.
The next one will be held on Wednesday 17th May 2023, in the Robertson Room.
The speaker will be Allan McKelvie, and his talk is entitled Robert Burns and Sedition.
In it, he will discuss the evidence for Burns’ radical opinions, how the authorities of the time viewed such beliefs, and how Burns avoided the fate of other radicals who suffered imprisonment and deportation for expressing anti-establishment views in a time of revolutions, political upheavals, and the emergence of new ideas and aspirations.
The talks start at 2.30pm and finish at 3.30pm.
Places can be booked in advance on Eventbrite or by contacting the Museum on 01292 433700. Any unreserved seats on the day will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
