This year's lecture is given by Hamish's daughter Janet. The title for this year’s annual lecture was inspired by Hamish Henderson’s poem Ballad of the Twelve Stations of My Youth. Here, selecting poems read to her by her father during her own youth, Janet Henderson revisits some defining moments from her childhood. She explores how Henderson’s intellect, personality and legacy have influenced her own life, notably his passion for viewing life through a poetic lens. (from Storytelling Centre website).

Also, as ever, there will be some songs from Alison McMorland and Geordie McIntyre.
