Writer and broadcaster William Dalrymple visited the Centre in August 2010. He hails from North Berwick, but has made his home in Delhi, India. That’s only a home base though - as Scotland’s foremost travel writer his journey’s are an important part of his life. Questions of faith, too, plays an important role and much of his writing focuses on such questions as he encounters people of religious faith around the world.

 

During his Lauriston talk, part of our ‘Meet the Author’ series, he spoke about two of his books. His acclaimed book From The Holy Mountain considers the demise of Christianity in the Middle East, and his latest book, Nine Lives, gives glimpses into the lives of nine people of very different faiths in Modern India.

 

It was a fascinating afternoon, and we thank him for taking time from a busy schedule to be with us.
