Did you know dinosaurs roamed the Isle of Skye 165 million years ago? Or that Scotland’s crown jewels were once hidden in a toilet? Join author David Macphail to explore the myths, legends, wildlife and landscapes of Scotland, with hidden maths. This fun and interactive talk for families is presented by Maths Week Scotland, which this year explores 'Wild Maths: the maths all around us'.

There will be a book signing following the talk, with an opportunity to buy the book "An Amazing Illustrated Atlas of Scotland" at the venue, or bring your own David Macphail book from home!
