Glidin’ Through Time: Celebrating the Bard of Lochwinnoch

Join us for this celebration of the life and work of Lochwinnoch-based poet, Betty McKellar, who turned 96 in December 2025. Betty lived in the Muirshiel Glen for many years and enjoyed a long career teaching at the village primary school. In retirement, she developed her own distinctive and lyrical style, often, but not exclusively, writing in Scots. Her poetry weaves evocative pictures depicting people and places, nature and the environment, history and myth. Come and hear a selection of Betty’s work, presented by Betty herself, and supported by members of the Lochwinnoch Writers Group.
