In which the author gives a talk on bodysnatching…

On Monday 24th October I’m the guest speaker at the AGM of the West Stormont Historical Society. And the subject of my talk will be ‘Ghoulish Tales of Bodysnatching in Perthshire’.

 

Perthshire has the physical remains of many relics from the bodysnatching era, from watch-houses to several fine examples of morthouses and mortsafes. I’ll be covering these examples of ‘dark heritage’ and examining the economic and social factors behind bodysnatching.

 

 

The meeting starts at 7.30pm at Kinclaven Church Hall, between Stanley and Meiklour. Visitors and non-members welcome. For more info, see http://www.stanleydevelopmenttrust.org/west-stormont-historical-society/_
