The Red and the Green: A Portrait of John Maclean

Come along and listen to Gerry Cairns deliver a presentation on the great Scottish socialist republican John Maclean, who was a true friend of Ireland. Maclean rendered valuable moral support to the Irish cause during the Tan War, through his propaganda work and by utilising his network of contacts in the workers’ movement, especially the Lanarkshire miners, in order to supply the Scottish Brigade with war materials. Cairns is an expert on Maclean, having written two books and numerous articles about him. He is also a former secretary of the John Maclean Society. All welcome. Admission free.
