February 2024 New Tales and Trails

The Tales and Trails team have been working very hard to bring these trails and tales to you. First the ideas, then the chatting and gathering stories, then the research. Graham has walked his Trail of 3 Bridges, created maps, transcribed and written the trail and added his own drone images, and he also learned how to upload to the website.

Cheryl has walked the trail of Largiebeg, taken photographs, transcribed pages of text. Written the trail and it will be live very soon. She has also learned how to add to the website.

Meanwhile Barbara has managed to put the history of these trails onto the website. This involved working from notes taken at our regular meeting ( you may have helped with this) It took a considerable length of time trawling our facebook posts for pictures and your amazing informative comments, all these help to build the history. Then there are our extensive archives of documents and images. All of these have been generously shared by our members. (You defininately helped with that) And research, there is always research. We use our archives, consult many old Arran books, British newspaer archives, Scotlands People and Arran Heritage Museum archives

Maggie is busy researching family history following a recent request, we always have the need for family history so Maggie will always be busy.

Susan’s trail is a family trail and we hope to go live with it very soon. Other trails are pending. Janet is busy writing up a tale and she and George are always on-hand to answer our many questions. We call them the oracles! We need them on video you will be amazed at their memories.

So please check out all of our heritage tales and trails.
