November Talk

The next BHS Winter Talk takes place in the Assembly Hall at the Breadalbane Community Campus at 7.30 p.m. on Friday 17th November, when Colin Liddell will be talking about “Deciphering the language of our local landscape”. 

During the Covid lockdown, Colin researched and endeavoured to translate all of the Gaelic place names within 175 square miles surrounding Pitlochry.  He will explain why and how he did this, and will illustrate a number of fascinating features of the life carried on in the foothills of Highland Perthshire and beyond, which have been revealed through translations .

Prior to Colin’s talk at 7.30 p.m., we will hold the Breadalbane heritage Society’s Annual Members’ Meeting (AMM) at 7.15 p.m., during which the Chairman’s Report on the activities of the Society during the 2022-23 season, and the receiving of the Annual Accounts for the period 1st September 2022 to 31st August 2023, will be presented.

From this date, the Annual Members’ Meeting will be held in November prior to the November talk as this date relates more closely to the end of the Society’s financial year on the 31st of August than the previous meetings being held in March.
