Booking Now Open: The Rob Roy Drawings

In February 2020, June Carey was invited by The Folio Society Ltd. to create 10 pastel drawings to illustrate an edition of Sir Walter Scott’s Rob Roy. We are pleased to announce that the actor Jimmy Chisholm will be closing the exhibition with a reading from Rob Roy. This will take place on the 250th anniversary of Sir Walter Scott’s birth on the 15th August at 1pm.
