A past Grand Master Mason of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, Marcus Humphrey, will explain the origins and development of Scottish Freemasonry worldwide, dispel some of the myths surrounding Freemasonry, and how the organization is adapting itself to being a relevant force in modern society. He will point out some famous names amongst Scottish Freemasons and have a look at the local Lodges.

This talk is centred on the visit to Scotland by George IV in 1822, it also looks at the conditions in Scotland prior to then and the longer-term consequences of the visit with a particular emphasis on Badenoch & Strathspey. Sir Walter Scott organised the pageantry of the visit and this talk follows the growth of Romanticism and the creation of an image of Scotland that has had lasting effects, particularly in the Highlands.

Gairloch, Wester Ross and Galapagos Islands, Ecuador are both very special but very different places. The natural life of both will be explored in this fascinating Talk supported by stunning photographs with an emphasis on the bird life found in both places. We will be impressed, surprised and enthralled by the wonderful wildlife while also being concerned about the future ecology of both areas due to our impact.
