Brownsbank Cottage - Hugh McDiarmid
We are holding a Poetry Night in aid of the Brownsbank Cottage restoration. It will be held on Friday, March 22nd at 7.30 pm in the Corn Exchange, Biggar.
Just a mile and a half out of Biggar is Brownsbank Cottage, formerly the home of the poet Hugh Mcdiarmid and his wife Valda from 1952 until their deaths in 1978 and 1989.
The cottage has been restored by Biggar Museum Trust to the way it was (artifacts and books included) during their long stay.
Aside from Hugh McDiarmid, past writers-in-residence have included award winning writer and publisher Matthew Fitt; and the first Scottish Parliament Writer in Residence James Robertson, author of Booker prize nominated 'The Testament of Gideon Mack'.
