Grassic Gibbon Centre & Cafe

Aberdeen

The Grassic Gibbon Centre celebrates the life, work and times of James Leslie Mitchell, the novelist of the Mearns, better known by his pen name Lewis Grassic Gibbon.

The Centre is a purpose-built, bright, attractive building adjoining Arbuthnott Hall and is run by a voluntary board of directors on behalf of the local community on an entirely not-for-profit basis. It sits in the very heart of the beautiful Mearns countryside, the spiritual home of Lewis Grassic Gibbon.

In the Exhibition visitors can trace Gibbon’s life through a selection of story boards, display cases and an audio visual display. Rare and valuable books can be viewed many of which belonged to the author, as well as personal effects and photographs kindly donated and loaned by his family and friends.
