Home Heritage Talk: Slavery and the Local Area

Tuesday 18th March, 1pm to 2.30pm

This talk takes place in Eastwood House.

A Heritage talk by Stuart Nisbet

From the 16th to the 19th century, the West of Scotland grew, largely due to colonial trade. At the abolition of slavery in 1834, Scotland had 10% of the UK population but 15% of the slave owners.

What does this mean for our local area? Who was involved? Why has it taken so long to come to light? How do we find out more?

Local historian and author Stuart Nisbet has been unearthing local slavery connections for many years and has published extensively, led walks and talks and contributed to a book with Tom Devine. Come along and hear about his journey and experiences while researching this subject.
