Dunfermline Historical Society Meeting

Eric Melvin will present “The Athens of the North”

Eric is a well known Edinburgh local historian. Since retiring from a long and varied career in education he now spends his time sharing his knowledge and love of Edinburgh via guided walks, talks and a number of books, including “A Walk down the Royal Mile”. He is an excellent speaker and as usual, all will be welcome for this, the last talk of the season.

Abbey Church Halls, Abbey Park Place

The Abdication of 1936 and the real Wallace Simpson

Roy Johnstone

Roy is a very popular speaker who is becoming a regular presenter to the DHS. He has been fascinated by history all his life and, since retiring from a career in the law, has developed and presented a wide range of talks on many historical topics ranging from Mary, Queen of Scots to the more recent history covered in this month’s talk. I’m sure many of you will remember how entertaining Roy’s talk last year on Bonnie Prince Charlie was.
