Annan Harbour Action Group’s Alan Thomson is set to shine a spotlight on the 1775 emigration of local families to Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
Families driven by hope, ambition, and, at times, desperation, took to the sea from the harbour to seek a better future in the New World – but it wasn’t all plain sailing.
Alan, strategic projects manager with the AHAG, has been researching their history and is ready to share his findings with the public at the latest in the series of Annan the History Town’s spring talks programme.
