Dr William Maclean: A Forgotten Black Isle Antiquary

Talk by Chris and Dave Rendell

Averon Centre, Alness

Sponsored by Workers' Educational Association (WEA). Cost: £1. No need to book.

Chris and Dave Rendell will share their research findings into this fascinating local man. Born in the poorest part of Inverness in 1867, this remarkable man achieved nationwide recognition as a doctor for his diagnosis of botulism in the Loch Maree tragedy. He was an acclaimed archaeologist and antiquary. Very much “a man of pairts”- linguist, classicist, champion golfer and sportsman. Signed copies of their recent publication on Dr Maclean will be on sale.
