Join award-winning storyteller Kathleen Cronie and take a glimpse into Closeburn’s rich past. Among the fascinating stories, you’ll explore the poignant loss of a boyhood friend, macabre links to the ‘Resurrection’ trade and a strange event that quite literally, shook the congregation…
Kathleen will highlight examples of folk art, exploring the symbolism behind green men, trumpet-blowing angels and a ‘bespectactled’ skull that adorns the old Kirkpatrick mausoleum…
