Mackay Brown talk
THE IMPORTANCE of community in Orkney author George Mackay Brown’s writing will be examined during a talk at the NAFC Marine Centre, in Scalloway, later this month.

The centre plans to invite a series of expert speakers between now and October to share their knowledge on subjects of interest to the northern isles.
Centre for Nordic Studies staff researcher Silke Reeploeg said: “The lecture will give everyone a chance to hear more about Dr Baker’s ideas and about George Mackay Brown as a thinker of community.
“This is a free seminar and everyone is welcome. We hope a lively open discussion will follow afterwards.”
Dr Baker’s talk is on 24 April starting at 7.30pm.
