Description:

Chris and Dave Rendell will share their research into this fascinating local man. Born in the poorest part of Inverness in 1867, he achieved nationwide recognition as a doctor for his diagnosis of botulism in the Loch Maree tragedy. He was also an amateur archaeologist, excavating at Caird's Cave on the Black Isle.
