I've suddenly realised just how close to the weekend it is, and I still haven't mentioned two events that are starting on 1st. March.
The first is at Hay Castle, and it's called Weekend of Mistakes. It's a series of talks on money, mostly. The Library of Mistakes is an Edinburgh based charity, dedicated to learning from the lessons of financial history. The full weekend tickets are sold out, but there are still tickets available for individual events. There are talks on money-laundering, financial crisis, con artists, banks, the geopolitical ramifications of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the financial plight of Sir Walter Scott - and the Leith Whisky Bubble of 1898!
More information is on the Hay Castle Trust website.
