John Goodlad will present his talk titled The Salt Roads at the Renfield Centre in Glasgow on 1 October 2026 at 14:15. Ticket information is available by checking the venue's website.
After his very well received talks last year, John Goodlad returns to RSGS to tell the extraordinary story of how salt fish from Shetland became one of Europe’s staple foods, powered an economic boom, and inspired artists, writers and musicians. For more than 300 years Shetland was at the centre of a fascinating salt-fish trading network that connected these remote islands to the rest of Europe. Based on his best-selling book, The Salt Roads, this captivating story is told through the lives of many remarkable people, the fishers, the merchants, and the exporters; ordinary people who led quite extraordinary lives.
