A museum is a treasure chest not just
of objects but of stories. At this closing event for the project,
James Robertson, Sara Sheridan, Lee Randall and Lucy Harland join
Jamie Jauncey to discuss how they tapped into the rich story of
Scotland’s past through objects that connect them not only to
social, political, cultural and religious history, but to the
powerful emotions of people who lived at the time.
James Robertson and Aimee Chalmers kick off this event with a
selection of Burns poetry and a 21st century Scots poem inspired by
the bard.
