Professor Hector McQueen gave the lecture at the Laigh Hall of Parliament House in Edinburgh on the subject of Andrew Dewar Gibb and his role and motivation in founding the Saltire Society 90 years ago. It was attended by Dewar Gibb’s grand-daughter and a near capacity audience, despite it being one of the hottest days of the year so far.
