The next meeting of the Arran Saltire Society is on Wednesday15th February in Corrie and Sannox Village Hall. The guest speaker will be Ruth Impey, known to many as the Project Manager for the Arran Arts Heritage Trail. The talk will be preceded by the Society’s AGM, which will take place immediately before.

The Arran Saltire Society say, “We’re delighted that Ruth has accepted our invitation to talk about her work and the progress of the project from start to finish, as well as the legacy it has left here on Arran and beyond. Ruth is an experienced teacher, researcher and maker with an impressive history of managing projects both in the UK and internationally. Previously she developed community projects for a large-scale National Lottery Heritage Fund project, Rediscovering the Antonine Wall which included an arts trail. A keen ceramicist, Ruth has an extensive knowledge of Arran, having visited the island every year since childhood.”
