8.30pm Close
Both of these documentaries have been shot entirely on location in historic Kincardineshire, and this is the first documentary to be produced about the Father of the Bard.
It is interesting that the documentary will be screened only a few miles from where William Burnes was born at Clochnahill, just outside Stonehaven.
This is an Aberdeenshire Council initiative, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, working with adults with learning disabilities.
The production was filmed and engineered by PHI production Studios, and involved people from Forest View Centre Stonehaven, Scolty Centre Banchory, and the pupils of Glenbervie Primary school, along with a wide range of community groups.
Please telephone Dave Ramsay on 01569 – 764545 giving your name and telephone number and the number of people you would like to attend.
