Join James Ryan, the Trust’s Visitor Services Assistant at Hugh Miller’s Birthplace, for a special presentation and talk on Scottish geologist, writer and folklorist Hugh Miller (1802–56).
Hugh Miller (1802-1856) has been acclaimed as “the supreme poet of geology” and called “the David Attenborough of his day.” He gained such accolades not only as a pioneer of the science in its first heyday, but because he wrote about everything he saw and discovered in such delightful terms. Hugh could lyrically evoke our planet’s passage through deep time, while also describing fossils with homely metaphors and comparisons with the familiar everyday.
Tickets available here.
This event is part of the Highland Cinema and National Trust For Scotland ‘Special Talk Series 2024-2025’, with 50% of takings going to NTS, to help it continue to preserve and protect Scotland’s precious heritage.
