A living social history
Record it while
people remember.
History is not only what happened generations ago. It is also the events we organise, the places where we meet and the experiences we share now.
This collection will develop over time, preserving photographs, voices and accounts of Darvel life so that today’s memories become part of the town’s lasting story.
