9 September 2023 (10:00 - 16:00)
There has been a working smiddy in Cousland since 1703. When the local blacksmith retired in 1989, the Cousland Smiddy Trust was set up to save the Smiddy; as one of the last still working in Scotland. In 2001 the Smiddy complex and its gardens were purchased by the Trust. Cousland Smiddy Trust & Local History Project look forward to welcoming you on Doors Open Day 2023.
Our tenant farrier will be demonstrating the ancient craft of making horseshoes throughout the day. We will be serving our traditional lunches and teas outside in the paddock. Inside the Cottage Heritage Hub, a new exhibition has now been prepared by members of Cousland Local History Project, and the organic allotments behind the building will be open to view.
