13 September 2025 (13:00 - 16:00) Come along and discover the hidden histories of the atmospheric site of Scalan. Look around the seminary building and take a peek inside rooms that were once used to secretly train young men to be priests during the 1700’s. Usually locked to the public, the two mill rooms will be opened up on Doors Open Day. Catch a glimpse of what everyday life was life was like for those living in and working there during the 19th and 20th Centuries. Wooden walls are daubed with handwritten, dated snippets and left behind objects tell their own tales. Marvel at the restored waterwheel turning, bringing back sounds of the past. Volunteers will be on hand to answer any questions and to share stories and memories of this beautiful and evocative site. Videos will also provide information on the history of the site and the surrounding Braes of Glenlivet.
