Dorothy Dunnett Society Weekend 2025
Friday 25th – Sunday 27th April in Dumfries, Scotland.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend at a new venue, having decided to move our regular weekend out of Edinburgh. Easterbrook Hall in Dumfries provided an excellent venue for our activities. The programme follows the usual pattern: an informal welcome meal on Friday evening, three guest speakers and an activity on Saturday, a more formal ‘Gala’ dinner on Saturday evening, and a trip to Drumlanrig Castle, seat of the Scott family on the Sunday.
