Five acclaimed poets hailing from the North and Northeast of Scotland will gather to share poems and songs at ‘A Wee Gaitherin’ in Inverness Library on Thursday 29 May, from 5.30pm – 7pm.
Brian Hill, Cáit O’Neill McCullagh, Lesley Benzie, Lilian Ross, and Lynsey Gilmour will be

The exhibition, on display at the library from 20 May – 17 June, promotes the long and rich written cultural heritage of Scotland’s Northeast, and its wider environment of Northern Scotland.
