Led by fieldworker Abbey Craig, People’s Parish Arbroath concluded in May 2025.
From attending existing community gatherings to starting an Arbroath Sharing Stories Facebook page, Abbey grew the project to capture perspectives around the Arbroath area.
Working alongside a wide network spanning primary schools, heritage groups, and arts organisations community members came together to produce a variety of outputs that captured the spirit of Arbroath, including:
triptych art installation with Participate Art Group
documentary with How It Felt sharing past and current student experiences at the former Old Inverbrothock School and current Inverbrothock primary school
Music video based on ‘Ragatha of Colliston’ story
Arbroath-specific playground games with Ladyloan primary school
local geology pamphlet with Stories of Stone
community gathering with project highlights and performances
