The Caledonian Lecture, focussing on Field Marshal Haig’s legacy, will be delivered by Professor Gary Sheffield at the Caledonian Club. Details of the reception, lecture and dinner are available from the Club.

Further events are planned during October and November, including a Royal Caledonian Education Trust Schools theatre production on October 18 and two performances of St Columba’s WWI Story - Feeding the 50,000 (featuring stars from Downton Abbey among the cast) on October 20, along with special Remembrance Sunday services on November 11 at both St Columba’s and Crown Court churches. Tickets for all performances are available from Eventbrite or by emailing events@stcolumbas.org.uk
