We are thrilled to bring back Prof Moray Watson to the Islay Gaelic Centre, where he worked for three years, to hear him talk about his Gaelic translation of cult classic The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, A’ Hobat. Translating a book with such innovative language is no mean feat, and we have no doubt you’ll have lots of questions for Professor Watson – as do we!
Tickets: Suggested price £7, or Pay What You Can £3/£5/£10.
