Our second residency event will take place on November 21st with fabulous Author Kate Foster ✨
What to expect:
Join us for a dinner inspired by the women history tried to silence, and the writer who refused to let them stay quiet.
The evening begins with a gin cocktail in the bar, a nod to the tavern world Maggie Dickson navigated. Dinner follows: a menu drawn from 18th-century Scottish life, reimagined through Rocpool's kitchen — smoked fish, game broth, dark bread, bitter winter greens. Kate moves between tables throughout the evening, in conversation with guests rather than performing to a room. The night ends with a short, intimate Q&A: Kate on the book, on Maggie, on why the women history forgot still matter so much.
The following morning, those who wish to join us will walk through Inverness with Kate, past the sites of Highland witch trials, through streets where women were accused, tried and condemned, and end at Leakey's, one of Scotland's most beloved bookshops, housed in a former Gaelic church. Each guest leaves with a curated reading list, a signed bookplate and a book of their choosing.
