Hutton Series on Climate Change Final Report

Panmure House is the final remaining home of the 18th-century philosopher and economist Adam Smith. James Hutton, ‘the father of modern geology’, was the executor of Smith’s will and a frequent visitor to Panmure House at the height of the Scottish Enlightenment. The discussions held there then, at the dawn of the industrial revolution, resonate strongly with those required now as we grapple with a global energy use transition. Read the final report from the Hutton Series on Climate Change here.
Hutton Series on Climate Change: Final Report

A Unique Hub

Delivering a vibrant and stimulating programme of activities

Panmure House plays host to a variety of summits, conferences and lectures, from the Adam Smith Lecture Series IN ECONOMICS to The Hutton Series ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Adam Smith’s philosophies deeply influenced those around him. Today Panmure House once again provides a venue for the most essential conversations of our times. Members of The Society of Panmure House play a crucial role in that discourse.

From Autumn 2021, Panmure will deliver engaging schools SeRIEs - both virtually and in person. For older inquisitive minds our various Lecture Series provide a platform for new thinking and understanding.

Wednesday Wisdom from Smith ‘It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.’ - Wealth of Nations 🎇
