Trails and Tales is an arts and heritage learning programme which engages artists with communities to explore their local history and heritage.
From 2014 – 2017 a broad range of creative projects working with people generated research, conversations and creative responses to learning to inform the design and creation of a series of outdoors sculptural arts and heritage trails, across 11 local communities (towns and villages) in East Dunbartonshire.
Trails and Tales has worked with 11 towns and villages across East Dunbartonshire: Auchinairn, Baldernock, Bearsden & Westerton, Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch, Lennoxtown, Lenzie, Milngavie, Milton of Campsie, Torrance and Twechar. These areas were identified and consulted with through a series of events in 2013. The information gathered informed external applications to funding bodies.
The project is currently in the final stages of at work installation. Trail maps per town and village can be accessed here – https://www.trailsandtales.org/trails
