Don Roberto: the Adventure of Being Cunninghame Graham

Who was Don Roberto? Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham was co-founder with Keir Hardie of the Scottish Labour Party, founding president of the Scottish National Party, horseman, traveller, writer, radical politician, descendant of Scottish kings, visionary and humanitarian. So why does practically no one in Scotland know anything about him?

Come and hear writer Jamie Jauncey talk about the life of his extraordinary great-great-uncle, and offer some answers to the question of why this hugely influential figure is so overlooked today.

Jamie Jauncey is a Birnam-based writer who has published fiction for adults and children. Don Roberto: the Adventure of Being Cunninghame Graham is his first biography. For many years Jamie sat on the board of the Edinburgh International Book Festival and still chairs events there every year. He is also a musician.
