Join us on Thursday 21 November, 6pm, at the James Arnott Theatre, Gilmorehill Halls for a very special evening in the company of our Honorary Doctorate and internationally renowned, award-winning actor, Bill Paterson.

In the decades which have followed, Bill has taken on a huge diversity of roles across theatre, television, film and radio, including, in theatre, Death and the Maiden and Waiting for Godot; in film The Killing Fields, Comfort and Joy, and Truly, Madly, Deeply; and on TV, Aufwiedersehn Pet, The Singing Detective, The Crow Road and, more recently, Outlander, Shetland, Guilt, The House of Dragon, and Fleabag (‘Fleadad’).
