Dark Tales of Old Annan

Join your trusty guides and delve into the town’s murky, mysterious past, as we meander through courtyard and close, kirkyard and wynd.

Despair at an ancient curse laid upon the Bruce clan, recoil at the legend of a plague-bearing stranger, and shudder at the untimely death of a local minister… Woven between the histories, feel the chill as we reveal haunting happenings from this historically important Borders town…

*This event features a tour of the Medieval Annandale exhibition with Tom Hughes, Access Officer at the museum, who created this special display. Discover fascinating artefacts including carved stones from an ancient monastery, bronze pots which had been hidden in boggy ground, and artefacts from a much-captured castle. Tom will share some of the stories of the region’s medieval past including that of the Bruce family, Lords of Annandale, in this 750th anniversary year of King Robert the Bruce.
