About Mr Tait’s Whale and Other Aquatic Tales
A superb fresh story of Kirkcaldy's celebrated whale from way back in 1869.
The speaker, a librarian by trade, also volunteers as a researcher with Fife Council Archives. This talk is the result of being given a box no more than the size of a shoebox to research and record. The contents were a golden find relating to the days when Kirkcaldy had a whaling fleet, important seafaring families and of course this celebrated whale. The talk is a result of Kerry's forensic research and detective work. Come along and hear its very first public airing.
All the usual supporting items will be there - tea, coffee, themed home baking and the raffle.
