About this event

James Ryan, the National Trust for Scotland's "resident fossil hunter" at Hugh Miller's Birthplace Cottage and Museum in Cromarty - Hugh Miller: The David Attenborough of his Day. Fossil hunter, folklorist, man of faith, stonemason, geologist, editor, writer and social justice campaigner – Hugh Miller was one of the great Scots of the 19th century. Now as we celebrate the 185th anniversary of his most famous book "The Old Red Sandstone", join us James as he uncovers the life and legacy of this brilliant man.
