Katherine Grainger - The Road to Gold. RSE Christmas Lecture Royalsociety Edinburgh · December 18, 2012 Glasgow-born Katherine Grainger MBE first took up rowing during her student days at the University of Edinburgh. Since then, she has gone on to win 6 rowing World Championships, 3 silver Olympic medals and, most recently, a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games. These remarkable achievements make her an inspiration to all, and the RSE was delighted to have Katherine deliver the RSE Christmas Lecture 2012 where she spoke about the challenges she has faced along with the successes over the past 12 years. The RSE Christmas Lecture is delivered twice each year - the daytime lecture is delivered to secondary school students, and is webcast by BBC Scotland to schools and to the wider public around the world. The evening lecture was delivered to a public audience in Lochaber.
