Overview

The official story of how association football came to be invented emphasises the role of private English schools like Harrow and Eton. But now that has been displaced by research showing it was much nearer to home, in Kirkcudbrightshire, and in the town of Anwoth in the 16th century. Come and hear how history was made with Phil Richardson of Archaeology Scotland and the power of football, with writer Julie McNeill who will talk about his artistic residency with St Cuthbert Wanderers
