Amidst January’s Burnsmania it was a pleasure to speak last Thursday to the Stirling Local History Society about the lives and works of Elizabeth Hamilton and Susan Ferrier - two local legends in different ways! Many thanks to the Society for this invitation and to all who came for their questions.
Saw the “new Raeburn” portrait of Burns at @nationalgalleries.bsky.social, hung beside the Nasmyth — genuinely breathtaking. Go if you can. And do @glasgowburns.bsky.social a favour: spend 5 minutes logging your Burns Supper here:
