These are reflected in our extensive lecture and excursion programmes. Evening lectures from experts in their field are held once a month from Autumn to Spring in the hall at Millburn Academy, Inverness. These are free of charge to members. Summer study excursions for members are organised, at cost, to all parts of Scotland. These take place on Saturdays. On joining you will receive full details of the lecture and excursion programmes.
