Join the Gaelic Texts Society in partnership with the University of Edinburgh's Celtic and Scottish Studies for the highly anticipated annual Canna Lecture. Taking place on December 6, 2023, this esteemed event will be held at the University of Edinburgh's 1.06 Project Room, located at 50 George Square in the vibrant city of Edinburgh. We are delighted to announce that this year's Canna Lecture will be delivered by Dr. Priscilla Scott, a renowned expert on the Gaelic literature of the nineteenth century, with a particular focus on the significant contributions of women in Gaelic literary history.

During her lecture, Dr. Scott will delve into the captivating world of Màiri Mhòr nan Òran, also known as Mary MacPherson.

This event presents a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Mary MacPherson's awe-inspiring praise songs.

Very good, the clerk is very good and warm. The location is very good just below the castle, very close to various attractions, the only one is a little distance from the station.

It is the most romantic sunset place. I have been here, it was cold but beautiful! I will not go into details about the many celebrity check-in places.
But my only deepest experience was the lyrics,
&quot;The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you&quot;
I didn&#39;t think this song was romantic before, until I climbed to the top of Carlton Mountain⛰️It was really speechless and beautiful!!
I really like this light blue gentle dusk~~Thanks to the little afterglow near sunset that day, I saw the light blue and light orange sky line in the distance, which was really extremely romantic~~Continuously touched me✨💕🌹Recommend this extremely romantic place, must go?
【Scenery】
Medieval dusk🌆, the only one in the world❤️
