During the winter months, The Society organises evening lectures, which are held in the Brora Community Centre, at the rear of Brora Primary School. All talks begin at 7.30pm and most are held on a Thursday. Lectures are open to all and there is usually a raffle (donations always welcome) - refreshments and admission are free. Anyone wishing to join the Society will be made particularly welcome.

This season’s programme is as follows:

  • Thursday, September 17th 2009
    The Western Front: Passchendale to The Somme and Connections to Clyne - Morag Sutherland.

  • Thursday, April 15th 2010
    Golf in the Back of Beyond: A Complete History of Brora Golf Club - Hugh Baillie. What Hugh doesn't know about Brora Golf Club, after a lifetime's connections, isn't worth knowing! His talk is an 'in the flesh' version of his recent book about the history of the Golf Club and promises to be a fitting conclusion to the lecture series.

  • Thursday, May 20th 2010
    Photographic Archives - Jacquie Aitken
    Last year's inaugural event was a great evening - one which allows locals to dwell over nostalgic images of years gone by and incomers to gain a glimpse into the village life of yesteryear. An informal event, where members of the audience are invited to chip in with stories and questions about the images on display.
