A talk about one of Accrington's Men of Mark
Kinloch Castle - Bullough Family - Isle of Rum
"ECCENTRIC WEALTH, THE BULLOUGHS OF RUM" by Alastair Scott. Wednesday June 1st 2011 at 2.00 pm
There will be an illustrated lecture and book signing by the author together with refreshments at Accrington Library (Lecture room). It starts at 2pm and the book will cost £9.99. The library are printing tickets to regulate numbers, which are free.
Alastair traces the life of Lancashire industrialist Sir George Bullough in this absorbing biography which explores his family’s connection with the Hebridean island of Rum, particularly the building of Kinloch Castle, the most intact preserve of Edwardian high-living to be found in Britain and the many scandals linked to it.
