It’s a great opportunity to learn about Scottish culture through food, music and dance! We hope you’ll join us at 6 pm on Friday 26th in The Devil’s Porridge Museum for this fun event!

2pm – 3pm

Join us for a talk on the story of Scottish milestones!

Author Bruce Keith will present his book “Are we nearly there yet?”, it’s a story of Scottish milestones- not just distance markers, but early means of measurement, maps and the travellers of the 18th and 19th century whose journals laid the foundation of the Scottish tourist industry.

Bruce will also celebrate the “Top 50 Scots” – the sportsmen and women who have gone the extra mile to set new world records in terms of speed and endurance – so something for everyone!
