Conservation project’s legacy celebrated

A “harvest festival” to celebrate a three-year project which has breathed new life into the Lomonds is to be held.

The Living Lomonds Landscape Partnership is an association of organisations in Fife and Perth and Kinross which have come together to deliver a landscape conservation programme.

With the project drawing to a close, legacy events are planned to celebrate its achievements and to encourage communities, groups and people of the area to pick up the Living Lomonds baton and continue the work the project has started.

A celebration is being held on Falkland Estate on Saturday, as a “sort of harvest festival of all the great things the partnership has achieved”.

The programme includes exhibitions of different aspects of the project, treasures from the three community archaeology digs and an opportunity to try heritage crafts.

Meanwhile, there will be demonstrations from medieval re-enactment group The Company of St Margaret and a programme of talks from many of the experts who have been integral to the success of the project.

Ninian Stuart, vice chairperson of the LLLP board, said: “Living Lomonds Landscape Partnership has taken a remarkable journey over three years that has achieved far more than any of us could have on our own.

“From Lochore Castle and Benarty Hill in the west to Falkland’s royal hunting park and Markinch Kirk in the east, we have been revealing the powerful nature of this heritage landscape – and reconnecting communities to it.

“This event will be a sort of harvest festival of what we’ve discovered and what we’ve learnt on the way – a celebration of a fantastic legacy and its potential for the future.”
