2026/27 Programme

​

As the summer, such as it was, draws near to it's end, we can look forward to the season's talks.  With thanks as always to an enthusiastic range of speakers, we have put together what we hope will be a varied and interesting range of topics.  We have managed to accommodate a couple of topics suggested by members this year, so if there is anything you would like to see covered in future talks please let us know and we will do our best!

​

It was great to see a large and enthusiastic turn-out for our first talk of the season.  Local geologist Jim Blair treated us to a fascinating insight into the geology of the area around Appin.  Geologically, the area around Loch Linnhe is of great interest and Jim's presentation, including rock samples from around the area, was hugely informative.

 

The October meeting saw the hall full to the brim, with all spare seats being hurriedly brought in.  The speaker, Alice Lennox, had spoken to us last year about Rare Breeds of Farm Animals and had returned to talk about another of her passions, Scottish Witches.  She presented a fascinating angle to the Witch trials in Scotland from the 1600s to mid 1700s, creating a lot of food for thought!
