This guided walk explores some of McGill's hidden pockets of history that will surprise even the most avid McGillite. Find out where Ernest Rutherford conducted the experiments that won him the 1905 Nobel prize, or where Maude Abbott, Canada's first cardiologist, gathered her heart collection, or where folk musician Kate McGarrigle penned her salt song. This tour will enlighten and entertain. Special guest on tour this year is Cynthia Boyle, who will share stories about her father, McGill's latest Nobel prize winner Willard Boyle.
