On the 11th of September 1973 President Salvador Allende and his legitimate left wing Government was overthrown by a military junta led by General Pinochet.
Six years later Rowland and the Chile Solidarity Committee were able to persuade President Allende’s wife to come to Stirling. The event was held in the Golden Lion Hotel and was well attended by any number of local big-wigs including all the local area MPs, the town provost and university dignitaries.
The Chileans were out in force.
