AN installation telling the story of the Declaration of Arbroath is to be created as part of an investment into a National Trust site in Angus.
The conservation charity announced plans to invest over £700,000 into the House of Dun near Montrose. The investment will completely re-purpose the property – which encompasses the Montrose Basin Nature Reserve – as a historical park for Angus which tells the story of the county, the people and the landscape.
It will also feature a special installation which explains Angus’s role in the “birth” of Scotland as we know it through the Declaration of Arbroath 700 years ago.
The National Trust for Scotland’s chief executive, Simon Skinner, said: “This is a transformational investment that will offer a rich experience for people of all ages.” He added: “Our aim is to not just to make history relevant but to have it come to life for visitors.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
