The Importance of Being Ruined. A talk by Olwyn Owen

Our final talk on Thursday 20 March has the intriguing title of ‘The Importance of Being Ruined’. Local historian and Chair of the North Berwick Environment and Heritage Trust, Olwyn Owen will escort us on a verbal tour of historic sites of North Berwick, including the ruined nunnery, Castle Hill, the mills in the Glen and several others. Her talk is bound to prompt us to visit or re-visit these sites in person with a newly informed perspective. 

Olwyn’s talk will commence at 7.30pm in the Chapel area, St Andrew Blackadder Church, St Andrew Street, North Berwick, and is open to all. Entry is free for Members of the Coastal Communities Museum, and by £5 donation for Non-Members. The talk will be followed by some light refreshments.
