Irvine Literary Tour with Poetic Justice & local historian Billy Kerr

Starting at the Glasgow Vennel, explore Irvine’s rich literary heritage, from Robert Burns and John Galt to Edgar Allan Poe.

Visit historic sites including Irvine Grammar School and the Old Parish Kirkyard to uncover Poe’s local roots, before concluding with dramatic readings and a discussion of his mysterious legacy.

Please dress for the weather and wear stout footwear. In the Parish Church graveyard, it is very uneven underfoot; good balance and mobility are recommended.
