Provost Renwick attended the annual Thomas Muir Symposium today to celebrate the 'Father of Scottish Democracy', an eighteenth-century Scottish champion of political democracy who took a worldwide view of the idea, believing it would eventually prevail in all corners of the globe.
Entitled ‘Thomas Muir in the Twenty-First Century’, the event was organised by The Friends of Thomas Muir community group to examine different aspects of Muir's ideas and how people have been inspired by them since his death in 1799.
It included talks from Professor John Curtice, Professor Colin Kidd and Jane O'Donnell. For more information, visit the Facebook page or the events page.
