IMMORTAL MEMORY

A passage through time. Echoes of what was and what remains. A town that breathes with stories still unfolding.

Back for 2026 with more dynamic and deeper tones to enhance the atmosphere. 

Greyfriars Church sits on the historic site of Maxwell Castle where Robert the Bruce is known to have killed John Comyn. The building we now know was rebuilt in 1866-1868.

The historic features of the church will be highlighted through a welcoming glow of colour and sound. Visitors will be invited to buy a candle to add a poignant flickering glow to the night.

A mainstay of Burns Suppers, the Immortal Memory celebrates Burns’ enduring spirit. It’s a fitting tribute for one who himself did so much to preserve and popularise Scotland’s rich historical, cultural and literary heritage.
