Peterculter Heritage Centre

AT THE end of April, the Heritage Centre had a most successful weekend to mark the anniversary of the closing of the Culter Mill- many farmer employees visited the centre and shared memories of their working lives. The special exhibition of the Mill is still running; postcards of the mill have been reproduced showing what was an important part of Culter but is no longer with us.

 It also was goad to be able to host the Arts and Crafts Exhibition as part of the Culter Gala programme hopefully this will take place again in 2007 and more people will be encouraged to take part in the exhibition. Obviously there is a lot of talent in Culter.

As always, the Trust is keen to receive any articles relating to Culter as this helps the committee to continually show more aspects of Culter life, past and present. Items can be donated to the Trust or given on loan. Numerous visitors have commented on the wide range of interesting exhibits we already have on display and, if this can be increased, it all goes to help maintain Culter's heritage. - past, present and future.

The Hall has recently acquired 80 new upholstered stacking chairs thanks to an Teas/coffees are served every Saturday & Sunday from 2-4pm and You will be made most welcome. Over recent months some of our valued volunteer tea ladies have retired and our thanks to them for their contribution. Fortunately a number of new volunteers have come forward but we stilt need more.

 The Trust AGM is being held on 20th September in the Heritage Hall 7.30p.m. If you are interested in finding out more about the Heritage Trust, do come along.
