Heritage Project Officer, Hannah Douthwaite-Teasdale, said “We’re excited to bring together people from each community to explore the huge impact that these areas have had on Scotland’s History; from being the home to the world’s largest producers of Blotting Paper, the site of a roman hoard and the location of one of Scotland’s worst mining disasters.”
She adds “And that’s only half of the pictures as we also want to explore the natural importance of these areas which include important swathes of Bog and Heath encompassing the Slamannan Plateau, the winter home to Taiga bean goose, which are currently under threat.”
