RCAHMS Lunchtime Lectures
Come and find out more about Scotland’s architecture, archaeology and industry in our series of lunchtime lectures. Open to all, these lectures are presented by experts in their field on a wide range of subjects. Held in the RCAHMS Conference Room, the lectures start at 1pm and last for up to 1 hour including time for questions.
All talks are free of charge but must be booked in advance since places are limited. Book online using the links below, or see the full list on Eventbrite.
We are currently putting together the lecture schedule for 2012. If you would like to present one of these lectures please get in touch with philip.graham@rcahms.gov.uk.
Due to building works to improve our storage facilities, from 1 February to the end of May 2012 these lectures will temporarily be held in a room without disabled access - we apologise for this inconvenience.
