We can’t wait to host our heritage open day tomorrow with talks, tours and family fun. We’d love to hear of any stories and memories you have of the cathedral too!

We’ve had a fantastic day at Brechin Cathedral with our wonderful volunteers recording this spectacular church and uncovering its history!

You can drop in at any point during the day, for as little or as long as you like. We’re really excited to hear more about what Brechin cathedral means to you. We hope to see you there. Saturday 10th October 2026 11am-3pm 📍 Brechin Cathedral

Share your memories as part of our oral history recording project. Perhaps you have memories of weddings, baptisms or services in the cathedral. Maybe you spent time here as a child, have family connections to the congregation, or remember the building from a particular moment in your life.

The ReACH team will be at Brechin Cathedral on Saturday 10th October for our next open day. Come along to visit the cathedral, join us for short talks by experts on medieval churches, the Pictish stones and the stained glass at the cathedral, or take part in our family fun activities.

Working alongside volunteers from Scotland’s Churches Trust, you’ll help us record the building, its features and contents using the Rapid Recording methodology. It’s a great opportunity to get hands-on with church heritage and be part of our work to document these buildings at a time of change.

Want to get involved in recording Scotland’s church heritage? We’re looking for volunteers to join us at Brechin Cathedral on Friday 9th October to help with heritage recording as part of our ReACH case study.

If you would like to share your memories with our team for our Oral History project we will be at Islay Gaelic Centre/Ionad Chaluim Chille Ile near Bowmore 11am-2pm on Friday 25th September. Or join us at Portnahaven Church for our ReACH open day on Saturday 26th September between 11am – 3pm.

This weekend we are heading to Portnahaven Church on Islay! Join us on Saturday 26th September, 11am-3pm for our ReACH open day! We are looking forward to hearing more about its heritage and, most importantly, meeting people who have their own memories and connections to the building.

We found some real gems along the way, including some great examples of social history alongside significant heritage pieces.

What an incredible day of heritage recording at Burntisland Old Parish Church! A brilliant group of volunteers and experts helped us delve into all the nooks and crannies, uncovering some real gems and giving us a greater appreciation of the layers of heritage held within the building.
