A driech old night but a warm Historical Society welcome to Professor Julian Goodare, who gave a fascinating talk about the witch hunts of the 16th century, with particular reference to Scotland.

Today’s historical society continued with the Black History Month theme with Mr Du Vivier discussing the importance of music as a form of protest. He drew on 3 examples: ‘strange fruit’, ‘we shall overcome’ and ‘Black’.

A fantastic History Society lunchtime lecture from Mr Armstrong on the Battle of Gettysburg. This is a period we don’t usually cover in our curriculum so was great to hear about the significance of the battle and how the divisions that caused the war still resonate today.
