Paul McLennan:  The Dunkeld Dissident – Click here for tickets

The tragic life and times of Alexander Robertson, Dundonnachie. Coal merchant philosopher, author, political agitator, and an orator who drew crowds on both sides of the Atlantic, there was so much more to Dundonnachie than leading the Toll Bridge riots in Dunkeld.

In their own words:  Rivendell Stories, presented by Lesley Wilson – Click here for tickets

As a writer in residence at Rivendell Care home Lesley has spent many hours listening to, and writing down, the stories of growing up and growing old in Dunkeld and its surrounds.

Stories of dancing at Clunie Hall, working in Buchanan’s and Menzies, scratching after a trip to the pictures, life during the great depression of the 1930’s, the slums of Dunkeld, Tin City and many more.

Come along and hear to their own words, shared by Lesley, and perhaps share yours.
