Comrie Conversation Fringe Event 6th March & the next Comrie Conversation 21st March

Comrie Conversation Fringe event – 6th March

Following the last Comrie Conversation and Iain Macwhirter’s contribution on the ‘Road to Referendum’, local resident and historian Dr Ann Petrie has organised a discussion in the WRI Hall at 19.30 on the 6th March to explore the 1707 Act of Union and its relevance to our decision on the 18th September 2014.

It is fantastic that Comrie Conversations is stimulating such discussions and I hope you will be able to attend.
