Sepia Time & Blue Space
Book Launch
Raised in a family of sea-faring Glasgow Highlanders, Archie MacAlister’s love of stories began in boatyards and sail-lofts. Wartime years in Argyll broadened his horizons as he listened to grandparents and local worthies such as the shoemaker ‘with a mouthful of segs’. Others showed him the landscape of Diarmuid and Grainne, told him of ancient times, sang songs and handed on the traditional wisdom of the Gael. As a student of architecture in Edinburgh, he was drawn to Patrick Geddes’s interpretation of the environment and a ‘scholarship placement’ in Central Europe set him on his way to explore global culture.
Margaret Bennett invites you to the fireside to share a conversation with Archie MacAlister, whose compelling story-telling will lure you to the dockyards, the deck, the construction site or the pub. Bring your own glass and together we’ll launch Sepia Time and Blue Space.
