John Muir Festival 2014

A series of fascinating events commemorating John Muir, an influential Scots born naturalist.

John Muir is seen as the father of the modern conservation movement, the founder of America's National Parks and also the influential Sierra Club. His life and work has a deep resonance with many of the issues facing the environment in the 21st Century, a Scot who had a truly global impact.

As part of Homecoming Scotland 2014, The John Muir Festival will take place along the length of the John Muir Trail, a new national pathway that stretches from Dunbar in the East to Helensburgh in the West.
