Gaelic Landscapes of the 19th century

Online talk by Dr Kevin Grant, organised by Ullapool Museum. £7.50. Bookings via Eventbrite

Dr Grant focuses on using novel approaches to the landscape archaeology of the 18th and 19th century Highlands and Islands of Scotland. These included the extensive use of narrative, experiential approaches, and Gaelic oral tradition and culture.

He creates a colourful and evocative account of life within the landscape which acknowledges the breadth of experience in Highland society, the importance of culture in forming ideas and experiences of landscape.
