Burns and the Smugglers talk with David Wibberley
The waters of the Solway were once a hotbed for smugglers. This talk will explore the Solway’s murky past with stories of the fascinating characters who plied their dangerous trade and pitted themselves against the law including the most famous Exciseman of them all, Robert Burns.
Burns and the Smugglers runs from 2.00-3.30pm.
The talk takes place in the Ground Floor Dining room. There is a flight of stairs from the main entrance with a stair lift.
