People make history Local history day

Celebrate the rich history of our local area at the Wardlaw Museum's local history day.

Join Libraries and Museums for a special event where local history groups, societies and enthusiasts will come together to share stories, displays and knowledge about our community's past.

Explore exhibitions, meet passionate historians, discover hidden gems from the archives, and get inspired by the fascinating stories that shaped our town and region. Whether you're a lifelong local, a history buff, or just curious, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

This event forms part of War, destruction and reform: the early years of Mary, Queen of Scots, a public programme accompanying the exhibition on view at the Wardlaw Museum from Saturday 7 March to Sunday 20 September 2026.
