An exhibition of historical records, maps and photos, along with new illustrations and stories inspired by Stoneyburn’s past. Stoneyburn Bowling Club Fri 26 May – Tues 30 May 2017, 10am – 2pm This exhibition is part of a larger project to save and pass on to future generations some of the important landmarks in Stoneyburn’s past. The project has also created a book and a walking map highlighting ten locations throughout the village. Stoneyburn Stories book and walking map will be available FREE at the exhibition. The Stoneyburn Heritage Group has been researching the history of the village for the past two years, gathering material and discussing the social history of the village. The Group worked with writer Andrew McCallum and artist Gordon Shaw, to create a series of illustrations and stories inspired by the ten selected locations in the town. The artists also visited the primary schools, to hear from pupils about their special places in Stoneyburn, and to help them write poems and create artworks inspired by those places. The children’s work is also part of this exhibition. Generation Arts Coordinator Joanne Brown said, “Whittling down the list to just ten locations was not an easy task. We have heard many colourful and fascinating stories, which weave together into the tapestry of an industrial ‘frontier’ village whose inhabitants toiled hard to scrape a living from the surrounding landscape.
