The Outlaw King with Scott McMaster (£5 Donation Fee Pay Direct to Museum Includes Cuppa & Biscuits)
We are so excited to be welcoming Scott McMaster along to deliver a talk entitled: “The Outlaw King; how accurately did Hollywood portray Robert the Bruce?” Scott was the Historical Advisor to the movie ‘The Outlaw King’ and is a Property Manager with the National Trust for Scotland. He will discuss how closely the recent film sticks to historical fact and what is was like to work with the director, cast and production team as Chief Historical Advisor. He’ll share some of the secrets of re-creating Scottish history on the big screen and display some of the props from the movie. Some of the movie was filmed right here in Linlithgow so it will be great to hear Scott’s experiences. His talk will take place on March 20th at 7pm in St Peters Church.
Tickets are available in the museum shop or online at Linlithgow Museum Online Tickets Sales
Entry to the talks are by ticket only and tickets for all talks cost £5 each (plus a 50p online booking fee). Tickets include a cuppa and, you will be pleased to know, that we will be keeping up the high standard of biscuits we set in 2019! All proceeds will go to the upkeep of our wonderful museum.
Members booking is already open and early ticket sales suggest these will sell out again very quickly - so act now to secure your place! We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
