Want to know more about out Dingwall in 1975? Or what about the Davidsons of Tulloch Castle? Who was the Fairburn man accused of murder in Wyoming? What caused riots in 1847 in Dingwall?

Yet another blog has been added to our website's Explore page. This time it's a description of Dingwall in 1975 - obviously quite a special year - by Forbes Munro, a Museum Member.

Wow, what an incredible picture. Thanks for sharing Dingwall Museum!

Happy Monday everyone! This morning, we have a photograph dated August 1914, at the very beginning of the First World War. It shows the 4th Seaforth Highlanders, our area's local battalion, setting off for training down south in England, to then eventually head over the channel to the Western Front. Have you ever seen Dingwall train station this busy?

Wow! Isn’t Dingwall beautiful?!

Huge thanks to Charlotte Mackenzie from Arts in Nature for leading these sessions.

If you missed out yesterday, be sure to sign up for next month’s session on 11 June where you are invited to use riverbank clay to shape small sculptures; these could reflect water patterns, wildlife, or personal stories. Use grasses, reeds, or found natural fibres to weave small pieces that reflect the flow and interconnection of the waterways, and create temporary sculptures or mandalas using stones, driftwood, shells, or leaves.
