Clackmannanshire
Welcome to Doors Open Days in Clackmannanshire, which is organised, coordinated and promoted by Clackmannanshire Heritage Trust (SC010250).
Six very interesting venues are included in this year's programme for the first time or after a gap of many years: Alloa Hub, home of the Clackmannanshire Tapestry; Alloa Mosque; Alloa Old Kirkyard and Mar & Kellie Mausoleum; The Gate Charity in Alloa; Clackmannan Town Hall and artist Morag Knight is opening her Barn Studio at Alleckie Farm. Guided tours and/or displays will be available at these new venues.
The perennially popular Alloa, Clackmannan and Sauchie Towers and Menstrie Castle will be open again , with guided tours at two of them. Five churches in the county, three in Alloa, one in Clackmannan and Menstrie Parish Church, will open their doors to visitors once more to enable them to discover their unique stories and splendid interiors.
Alloa Fire Station, Clackmannanshire Council Archives, The Coach House Theatre in Alloa, Alva Ice House, Alva Old Kirkyard and Johnstone Mausoleum, Dollar Museum and Tullibody Heritage Centre will all be welcoming people again, revealing fascinating operational details and intriguing stories.
Menstrie and Tullibody Community Gardens will be showing visitors how grow their own food, eat more healthily and enjoy the great benefits to wellbeing of spending time outdoors.
Finally, there will be two interesting historic walks in Dollar - the first is a tour of the many historical places in the town, while the other will link with the current Dollar Shops exhibition in the Museum and take people on a tour of the town to look at its changing shopscape.
