Discover Gladstone’s Land’s direct connection to the 1811 defamation case, in which two Edinburgh teachers fought to clear their names after a pupil accused them of being in a same-sex relationship. The story explores how the themes of race, class and sexuality played out against the backdrop of Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town.This lecture examines how the verdict shaped the characters' lives beyond the trial. It also traces how the story went on to inspire writers and filmmakers more than a century later, such as The Children’s Hour (1961), starring Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine and the new film The Education of Jane Cumming (2026).Along the way we’ll discuss how the legal parameters around queer relationships and connections continued to shape the story right up until the present day.Tea and coffee refreshments included in ticket price.
