Free workshops are being held to help create a women's history walk in 
Milngavie.
Trails & Tales is an arts and heritage learning programme - created by East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture (EDLC) Trust - which is uniting artists and communities to celebrate local history.
The aim of the workshops is to inspire the creation of a walk in Milngavie to highlight interesting stories of women who lived and worked locally.
Trails & Tales is working with Glasgow Women’s Library to offer three sessions - taking place on Thursdays 11, 18 and 25 May - from 6.30pm-8.30pm in Milngavie Library, Allander Road.
- Session 1 - see examples of walks by other groups and create the outline of a short women’s heritage route in Milngavie using your own local knowledge and stories gathered through Trails & Tales
- Session 2 - an outdoor walking session to "test" the route identified in session 1
- Session 3 - deciding what your local walk will look like, as well as which women and themes will feature.
Mark Grant, General Manager of EDLC Trust, said, "Trails & Tales has been very successful in bringing local history to local people through work with artists, giving them an opportunity to join together and learn about their shared past.
"If you have an interest in women’s history and your community please come along and work with experienced colleagues from Glasgow Women’s Library to design a walk for Milngavie.
"Over three sessions, you will learn how to develop and plan a history walk from the stories and memories of local women."

The EDLC Trails & Tales programme - supported by East Dunbartonshire Council, Heritage Lottery Fund and Creative Scotland - aims to generate research, conversations and creative responses to learning to inform the design and creation of a series of outdoors sculptural arts and heritage trails across East Dunbartonshire.
One of the themes is women's history - highlighting important figures and stories in East Dunbartonshire's past.
