This section has been set up to
let everyone know that it is proposed to set up a new Neil Gunn readers
group. Part of the idea is that members of the group will read the
books at the same time and then have get-togethers to discuss the them.
The group might start in 2003 and
anyone who is interested in getting information should contact Nan Bethune at the Dunbeath Heritage

Dunbeath Heritage Centre already
holds the material books information etc collected by the Neil Gunn
Society that ceased a few years ago.
A recent weekend including a walk
to look at some Neil Gunn countryside that appears in some of his books
was very successful.
The Neil M Gunn Centenary Lecture by Joy Hendry
Joy Hendry gave us permission to publish her essay upon which her
centenary lecture was base about two years ago but we never seem to have
found time to get it on the web site. With another
weekend of Neil Gunn being
celebrated at Dunbeath this weekend we thought it was about time to get
this item on the site. Joy Hendry delivered her lecture over 20 years
ago for the centenary of Neil Gunn's birth in 1891.
Joy Hendry is a writer and edits the well known Scottish literary
magazine
"Chapman"
Chapman publishes small runs of
Scottish writers and includes drama and poetry and is often outspoken.
A quarterly magazine an annual subscription will bring you a few
surprises every three months.
