The AGM of the Arran Historical Society will be held on January 15, 2018 at Brodick Golf Club in the early afternoon, when soup and sandwiches will be served at a cost of £5, followed by the AGM and a short film show of Arran scenes, events and life after the Second World War.
The programme for 2018 will start in February, when Penny MacWatters will speak on the Hamiltons and Lord Rossmore, who married into the Hamilton family in the 18th century and came to Arran. His wife’s dowry included land on the west coast of Arran.
He recorded his impressions of local people and his life on Arran. Penny has researched the Rossmore family records in Ireland to obtain this information.
