AONGHUS MACKECHNIE – ‘If a landscape ‘speaks’, can we hear it?’

Monday 10th November 2025- 6.30pm

Augustine United Church, 41 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh EH1 1EL (wheelchair accessible) and On- Line

In this joint lecture with Scotland’s Garden and Landscape Heritage, Professor Aonghus MacKechnie will take us on a tour of Scotland, geographically, over time, and across political and cultural movements. From the medieval West Highlands and Gaelic society, the talk ranges through Early Modern Scotland, the exploitation of history and the ‘signage’ used by the Stewart monarchy, through to post-1660s classicism; moving then on to the Ages of Romanticism and Improvement, and that of militarism after the Battle of Sheriffmuir in 1715.
