Become a Stirlingshire Urban Detective
This free workshop will help you investigate and record the missing history of Stirlingshire.
Members of the public with a story to share, old family photographs or information about Scotland's towns and cities can become Urban Detectives by contributing the history on their doorstep to the National Record of the Historic Environment - one of Scotland's national collections - through the Scotland’s Urban Past (SUP) website.
This national record is a digital time machine, holding images and information about more than 320,000 sites in Scotland. But with many places still to be recorded for future generations, Stirlingshire's local Urban Detectives are being asked to help fill in the gaps.
SUP is a five-year project from Historic Environment Scotland, supported by the National Lottery with a grant of £1.65m from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The project provides free training, support and resources to people of all ages to help them discover and share the fascinating stories of Scotland’s towns and cities.
A free workshop for Urban Detectives will be taking place at Bannockburn Library on Tuesday 2 August.
