Scribble Scribe
Wednesday 12th October 2016 10.30am-12noon
Come in during the October holidays and try your hand at writing and illuminating with a quill pen and ink pot. See a replica copy of the letter sent to Captain Robert Campbell of Glenlyon the night before the Glencoe Massacre and write an alternative letter with different orders, or simply practice writing your name or send a letter to a family member. Things could get messy so bring an adult and wear suitable clothing. Suitable for age 5 and upwards though all are welcome along!
