Talk by Pauleen Butler

Gairloch Museum. Cost £3. For further details and bookings, see the museum's website.

On the centenary of his funeral, it’s appropriate to recognise how Osgood Mackenzie of Inverewe contributed to the life of the parish, over and beyond creating his Garden. As chairman of the Education Board, champion of the Gaelic language, outdoor pursuits enthusiast and exercising his rights as heritor in church and medical matters, he was certainly a controversial resident!  

​Putting into practice what she preached as a history teacher, Pauline Butler has explored contemporary newspaper reports, legal papers and school logbooks to publish Eighty Years in the Highlands, the life and times of Osgood H. Mackenzie of Inverewe 1842-1922.
