Event Details

An exploration of two great sangsters, Hamish Henderson and Robert Burns. Both redefined Scottish culture. They provided, against all odds, a national and international vision of the country. Bringing together vital Scots, Gaelic and Norse cultural strands and rejecting the arguments of those who insisted that Scotland was, at best, a mere fragmented nation lacking social and cultural wholeness. Both artists recreated the nation - especially through their song-writing.

This is an Immortal Memory with a difference by Professor Fred Freeman of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

A multimedia presentation drawing upon Professor Freeman’s recordings and illustrations to highlight the central points of his thesis.
