Part of the Saltire Society Festival Programme 2019. For the full programme, please visit the Saltire Society event page here.

It has been said that Hugh MacDiarmid (1892 - 1978) was the single most powerful cultural force in 20th Century Scotland. A great poet, revolutionary thinker, a political extremist, a social liability and a solitary introvert. And while public familiarity with his work has waxed and waned, nevertheless his influence continues, incalculably deep and long- standing.

Join the Saltire Society for a celebratory performance with Alan Riach and Dolina MacLennan. Tickets are £8 for non-members/discounted for Saltire Society members, and are available from the event page here.
