The St Kilda Experience. A fascinating glimpse into the unique world of St Kilda. Evocative film, music, poetry, Hiortaich audio recordings and illustrated talks will take you back, in sprit, to these fascinating islands and their place in Scottish history.
Join us for our relaxed Conversation Café at 7pm to practise your Gaelic or come along at anytime from then on, for one of the fascinating talks and performances planned.
Donald Murray, acclaimed author and poet, will join us for a short talk and presentation of images from St Kilda. This will be followed by a film screening of The Shepherds of Berneray, a portrait of the people of Berneray, a small island to the North of North Uist in the Parish of Harris. Then Calum Ferguson, author, teacher and broadcaster accompanied by singer Catriona Watt will together lead a captivating performance of song and prose.
