Exploring Dornoch's Heritage

Course led by Susan Kruse, ARCH

Thursdays, 10:30am-1pm beginning 22nd February, Dornoch Social Club

Join us to share memories or learn about sites, finds and heritage of the local area! We will explore what remains, what has changed and what has disappeared, then start digging deeper to research any topics of interest. Later sessions will allow us to pull all the information together into a community display. Informal and lively, this course assumes no previous knowledge. Come to one or all the sessions. Donations please to cover venue hire. All welcome – free coffees and teas!

Please book on 077888 35466 or email archhighland@googlemail.com , so we have contacts in case of bad weather.

 Finding Gypsy/Traveller Connections in Museum Collections

Online talk by Dr Rhona Ramsay

Organised by The Saltire Society Aberdeen and North East Branch. Contact Ian Russell at ianrussell@abdn.ac.uk for zoom link.

Although many museums contain items linked to Gypsy/Travellers, this connection is often unseen. As a result, Gypsy/Travellers are largely invisible within Scottish museums.
This talk will reveal some of these hidden connections, with a particular focus on objects in or linked to Aberdeen and the North-East.
