Wednesday 25th October
4 - 4.45pm

Thomas Legendre takes us on a journey to Kilmartin Glen, Scotland, exploring prehistoric landscapes through fictional writing.
How do these landscapes and their layered (pre)histories become vivid or ‘alive’ to us?
How does the past become present, and the present past?
