Zoom:
We are using Zoom to run the meeting and we have produced a short guide to tell you more about Zoom and how to use their features to participate during the meeting.
Timings:
In a change to previous years, we will be starting with our speaker who will then be followed by the AGM. We are also starting in the morning as people don’t need to travel to join us.
10:30 Speaker, John Home Robertson will talk about The Rev A. E. Robertson, 1870-1958; the First Munro ‘Compleater’; a Director of the Scottish Rights of Way Society from 1923; and the Man who “Knew Too Much” About Highland Rights of Way.
John Home Robertson was educated at Ampleforth College and West of Scotland Agricultural College. A Berwickshire farmer, he was Labour MP and MSP for East Lothian until he retired in 2007. He is now an active volunteer for Edinburgh Direct Aid, most recently with Syrian refugees in Lebanon, and also an amateur archaeologist and his researches into family history brought to light his connection with the Rev A E Robertson. ‘AER’ was also a Director of ScotWays from 1923, Chairman from 1931, and the first Hon President from 1946, so a key ScotWays activist, well worthy of being remembered in our 175th year.
