Our Annual General Meeting will be held in the Park Centre at 7:30pm on Thursday 24th April.
The AGM will be followed by a talk by David Forsyth titled "Confessions of a Tour Guide: or more correctly a walk around Auld Reekie" This will hopefully be a light-hearted look at tour guiding round the Old Town of Edinburgh, while discovering some of the more obscure aspects of Edinburgh's history on the way.
David Forsyth worked for National Museums Scotland in various curatorial roles within the Scottish History collections for a quarter of a century. He retired in 2022 after acting as Keeper (Head) of both the Scottish History & Archaeology and Art & Design Departments. The mainstay of his research and exhibition interest was the Scottish Diaspora and more generally the juxtaposition of history and material culture, having exhibited and published on topics as diverse as the Scottish military diaspora, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Jacobitism. He now enjoys as post-retirement career as a historical guide and freelance historian.
