Supporting the steps towards an independent Scotland with the voters of Dunbar and East Linton

The next Yes Dunbar events are as follows.  Whilst our events are planned with Yes Dunbar members in mind, we are pleased to welcome other “Yes” supporters, and those who are simply interested in finding out more about the case for an independent Scotland.

FRI 7 FEBRUARY 2025 – SCOTLAND: CULTURAL CRINGE OR CULTURAL CONFIDENCE?

A fascinating evening with wine (or soft drink) and some light food with live music, featuring the esteemed Scottish writer James Robertson.

Book now at: https://buytickets.at/ydevents/1511262 (tickets are £25 per person, with an early booking price of just £18 until 24 January).

On 7 February, Yes Dunbar is delighted to host a cultural evening with the famous Scottish author James Robertson. In his talk, James will describe how reading the work of Scots writers (including Hugh MacDiarmid, Neil Gunn and Liz Lochhead) in his early twenties set him on a journey of discovery that has never stopped – revolutionising his understanding of Scotland’s rich history, culture, politics, arts and languages.

Over a glass of wine with a simple plough supper in the historic setting of Dunbar’s 16th century Townhouse, James will share some of his insights, and with reference to his own body of work, provide his thoughts on the importance of understanding Scotland’s past as we move forward in the post-2014, post-Brexit era. 

The event will be introduced by Dunbar author Douglas Watt and the evening will also include live music from local cellist Claire Garabedian who will be playing a range of Scots tunes to match the themes of James’ talk.

Advance booking essential (no tickets will be sold on the night).  All ages welcome. See the booking link for more details.
