"Return of the Railways" event
description: IN 1853 not one byt two railway companies arrived in Grantown to what became known as Grantown East and Grantown West. Alas both lines closed after 100 years of very valuable service to the community and the closure proved very expensive to the town. Grantown East has subsequently been revitalised. The 'railways to Grantown' project progresses and Grantown looks forward to the return of its rail service. Meanwhile, there are several fantastic modern railway layouts that deserve to be on show. With the support of the volunteers who build, maintain, look after and exhibit these, and the support of Doors Open Days, it is hoped to have these on display in Grantown for the Festival Weekend in the former Hydro shop.

31 Heriot Row
description: A stunning interior staircase and lightwell, used by the young James Clerk Maxwell for balloon experiments, is now given new purpose by artist Angus Reid through the installation of silhouettes and poetry on a giant scale. See a Georgian interior made over for the 21st Century. Domecstatic is the third in a series of large-scale installations of words and imagery that explore personal social and political issues in Scotland in 2014. It is a new work by an innovative Scottish artist. Questions of identity, community and place are at the heart of Angus Reid’s work. In 2012, he installed 6 Peaks at Axolotl Gallery, placing the Pentland hills in a Georgian interior. The account of climbing the six peaks it took to walk away from heartbreak translated into a work that read directly and simply, to an audience that share this nearby landscape. Link: 6 Peaks In 2013, Call for a Constitution, placed the formula for a people’s constitution in 25 public spaces across Scotland in anticipation of the government’s recent pledge to have a written constitution. These locations ranged from Mike Forbes’ famous anti-Donald Trump barn in Aberdeenshire to the STUC headquarters in Glasgow; from a bus stop in Harris to the Scottish Parliament itself. This project became the book A Modest Proposal, published by Luath Press in April 2014. Link: Call for a Constitution Now, the third in the series, Domecstatic, brings it all back home to the four-storey stairwell of an Edinburgh townhouse. In this unusual setting for public art, larger-than-life silhouettes are framed by four poems that seek company as they climb towards the light. “… These poems and this installation reclaim the architecture of a private house for the imagination,” says the artist. “They invite everybody into what is otherwise a private space.” The four poems invite the visitor to negotiate a journey from dark to light, from a narrow threshold to an expansive light-well. They have, as a visual counterpoint, the outline of t…

A family outing to Inverallochy and to nearby Maggie's Hoosie so inspired the Thomas-Wright family that they set about a 10 year project to renovate this humble, traditional Scottish building. Keen to respect the conservation area in which 9 Shore Street sits, the external restoration work retains the original low-level roof line, the exposed granite walls, the window positions and the original footprint, as well other key features integral to its history. Having been a working family home for most of its life, with a short spell as a fisherman's store in the late 20th Century, this But & Ben with a half-hoose addition, is now a family home again.The internal renovation drew its inspiration from the history of the building; the open-plan design informing contemporary living. The Thomas-Wrights are eager to gather people's memories and knowledge of the building and its past inhabitants.

Abernethy 1072
description: In 1072 the small Scottish village of Abernethy was the site of a meeting between the King of Scots, Malcolm Canmore, and William of Normandy (who had recently conquered England). In a show of force William brought a fleet of ships up the River Tay, and Malcolm made an oath of loyalty to the English ruler. Exactly what Malcolm believed he was promising is still debated by historians. At this time Abernethy was an important religious centre, and home to a community of Culdees or Céli Dé (which means ‘client of God’ in Gaelic). The Culdees were Christian holy men who followed a form of religious life developed in Ireland during the Early Middle Ages. Today Abernethy is famous for its tall early medieval round tower – an extraordinary survival from the time of the Culdees. There is only one other tower of this type in Scotland (at Brechin Cathedral), although they are more common in Ireland. The tower probably served as a bell tower and treasury. This reconstruction represents how Abernethy may have looked in the 1070s. It shows the tower, church, and dwellings of the Culdees and their tenants. It was created by the University of St Andrews and Smart History, in collaboration with the Tay Landscape Partnership and Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust. The reconstruction was inspired by the study of the extant round tower and its surroundings, and comparison with early monastic sites in Ireland (including Downpatrick, Devenish, and Glendalough). An interactive virtual reality version of the reconstruction can be explored at the Museum of Abernethy, School Wynd, Abernethy, Perthshire, PH2 9JJ.

Abertarff House
description: Built in 1593, the oldest house in Inverness has witnessed the Covenanting times, Jacobite risings and two world wars - if only the walls could talk! Abertarff is the oldest house in Inverness. Tucked away on Church Street it's a 2.5 storey town house with a projecting turnpike stairway. It was owned briefly by the Fraser of Lovat Family, whose clansmen fought on the Jacobite side at the Battle of Culloden. In the 19th Century the building was acquired by the Commercial Bank of Scotland but after being split up for housing, the site fell into disrepair. It was gifted to the National Trust for Scotland in 1963 and the building was restored by the Trust in 1966. Over the past 50+ years, Abertarff House has been used for many things including the headquarters for An Comunn Gaidhealach (The Gaelic Association), a shop and the Trust's regional headquarters.

Acheson House Garden
description: Acheson House Garden is a newly restored historic walled garden just off the Canongate, tucked away in the medieval Bakehouse Close. It takes its inspiration from the 17th century examples, primarily foodgrowing gardens, which once lay at the rear of town houses in the Canongate. The design includes medicinal herbs, native vegetable varieties and heritage fruit trees, bordered with edible hedging to create formal shapes. At the heart of the garden, footpaths create a Scottish saltire and a biodiversity pond. The garden has lain neglected for many years, but it has now been regenerated with the help of Edinburgh World Heritage, Bridgend Growing Communities and the Patrick Geddes Gardening Club, named after the influential town planner who believed in the importance of communal green spaces. This hidden gem, a small ‘green island’, is concealed in the heart of the Canongate.
