Scran<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0paid a visit to Dunoon & it was a grand day out!<\/h2>\n

The purpsose of our visit was to meet the team of volunteers working with Dunoon Burgh Hall Trust<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>as part of their\u00a0Pop Up Programme<\/em>.\u00a0The Trust\u00a0is in the midst of an exciting project to reclaim what is one of the town\u2019s most important civic buildings. The 1873 Hall, listed on the Buildings at Risk Register<\/a><\/strong> for Scotland, \u00a0is currently undergoing a major refurbishment and restoration programme. If you are curious to see the before<\/em>\u00a0pictures, there are 99 images available via Historic Environment Scotland on Canmore<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the\u00a0<\/strong>volunteers are not letting the dust settle – they are investigating local heritage and all things relating to the history of this seaside town & the wider Dunoon community.\u00a0During our visit we were able to show everyone how to access Scran, free of charge<\/em> using their Argyll & Bute library cards.<\/a><\/strong> Together we looked at and discussed a host of collections material, including the day the Waverley ran aground – seen below in 1977<\/em>. Some of the volunteers remembered it clearly & memories were exchanged. There were other reminiscences\u00a0too, relating to more controversial events in 1984 when different peace demonstrations<\/a><\/strong> took place in Dunoon<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course the relationship between\u00a0Dunoon Burgh Hall Trust & Scran pre-dates this visit. The Trust previously contributed film footage from\u00a0Holy Loch Heritage \u2013 the American Presence<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0a project which aimed to bring to life the 30 year period when the American Naval Base was sited at nearby Holy Loch. We are delighted to say our partnership is set to extend into 2016, when we look forward to sharing more Dunoon ephemera surfacing from the restoration works. To see what’s been lurking under their floorboards,\u00a0watch this space.<\/em><\/p>\n
