DIARY
2026
JANUARY
Saturday 17th + 24th:
Untold Stories - two workshops at The New Scriptorium at Arbroath Abbey, with Arbroath 2020+1. 10.30am-11.30am. Free, booking required. Details & booking here. Set within the historic surroundings of The Scriptorium at Arbroath Abbey, these workshops invite participants to explore the ways stories are preserved, forgotten, or reinvented. Drawing on ongoing research into the Abbey and conversations with the local community, we are beginning to uncover remarkable figures and narratives—some drawn from recorded history, others from oral tradition, imaginative speculation, or the faint traces left by time. These sessions offer a rare chance to engage creatively with these emerging stories, while also developing your own.
