Our next sessional meeting will be on
Monday 4th December at 7:30pm on Zoom.
Willy Waugh, an independent researcher,
will give us a presentation on:
Drovers and Drove Roads in South Scotland
An introduction to droving, why it was important in
18th and 19th Century Scotland, and how the age of
steam - particularly railways - led to its downfall.
The talk will also show what still can be seen in the
countryside of the drove roads.
