The theme of Art UK 's this week is 'Reflections' so we are taking a moment to reflect on the Anstruther Harbour Festival which took place at the weekend and, in particular, the wonderful Whaling Garland Workshop which we hosted in the museum as part of it - blending maritime heritage researched by Dr Asha Hornsby and creativity led by Jan Bee Brown Storyteller and supported by the University of St Andrews Impact and Innovation Fund.
You can see an exhibition of garlands made as part of the same project over the summer by participants of sessions held in Meeting Centres Scotland in our Merchant's Room Community Gallery until the end of September.
