2008 McNaughtan Lecture

The James Hogg Society is very pleased to announce the 2008 McNaughtan Lecture, to be held Wednesday 3 December at the University of Stirling.


Dr Kirsteen McCue (University of Glasgow) will give a talk entitled 'From the Songs of Albyn to German Hebrew Melodies: The Musical Adventures of James Hogg'.


The lecture will begin at 4pm in Pathfoot A96, and a reception will follow.  For more information, please contact Suzanne Gilbert by email or phone (details below) or the Hogg Society's secretary, Deirdre Shepherd, at d.a.m.shepherd@sms.ed.ac.uk.


This series of lectures is named after Hugh McNaughtan, who died in the summer of 2000. Hugh was a much-liked and much-respected member of the James Hogg Society whose presence graced and enlivened numerous Hogg Society conferences. Thanks to a munificent donation by Hugh's family, the James Hogg Society has been able to establish an annual Hugh McNaughtan lecture on a subject related to Hogg.
