NTS Talk Series: The Story of Hugh Miller

Hugh Miller (1802-1856) has been acclaimed as "the supreme poet of geology" and called "the David Attenborough of his day." He gained such accolades not only as a pioneer of the science in its first heyday, but because he wrote about everything he saw and discovered in such delightful terms. Hugh could lyrically evoke our planet's passage through deep time, while also describing fossils with homely metaphors and comparisons with the familiar everyday. Join James Ryan, NTS Visitor Service Assistant, for a special presentation and talk on Hugh Miller, Scottish geologist, writer and folklorist. This event is part of our National Trust For Scotland ‘Special Talk Series 2024-2025’, with 50% of takings going to NTS, to help it continue to preserve and protect Scotland’s precious heritage.PT1H45MU2025-02-23
