About this Event

Join us for a presentation exploring the lives of two colourful characters in the background of the '45 conflict; one a young and upcoming British officer with a bright future. The other a mastermind who played both sides until his chequered past finally caught up with him.

One of these notable characters, Simon Fraser, Lord lovat, also known as the Fox, has connections to Abertarff House.

Join us in November to learn more about these two figures from history and how their lives impacted the '45 rising.The presentation will last about 50 minutes with time for questions at the end.
