THE GLEN ESK RETREAT FOLK AND AGRICULTURAL MUSEUM. ANGUS. SCOTLAND.
This is a centre for the community of Glen Esk in Angus and home to the much admired Glen Esk Folk Museum. It is community owned by the Glen Esk Trust and run by a lively team of staff and volunteers.The original Retreat, now demolished, was a cottage, built by Captain Wemyss in the 1840s as an escape from the sea. Newly refurbished, it continues to offer a genial mix of the tranquil and convivial, for everyone. The Glen Esk Folk Museum is for some people a discovery, for others a home to revisit, over and again.
Local school teacher Greta Michie opened the museum in 1955, using innovative methods of telling ordinary people’s stories by drawing on living history ideas being then pioneered in Scandinavia. Their reputation for home baking is sustained by a delicious variety of cakes, scones and tray bakes, lovingly made on the premises, using many of the recipes used in glen homes for decades. Meals and snacks are made from locally sourced provisions whenever possible. There is something for everyone, whatever your appetite, whatever the day of the week, whatever the time of day. Glenesk Folk Museum is a museum located in the Glen Esk valley, in Tarfside, Angus, Scotland, which is run by members of the local community. It is about 9 miles (14 km) north of the village of Edzell. It is housed in a former shooting lodge, known as 'The Retreat', which used to belong to the earls of Dalhousie. The museum contains artefacts and documents related to the history of the surrounding area. The museum's artefacts are arranged thematically into rooms, including spaces covering music and costume. There are reconstructions of rooms from the 1850s, including a children's room. The museum also has a document archive for genealogical research, including Census records from 1841 to 1891 and a partial record of births, marriages and deaths in the Glen and the parishes of Edzell and Lethnot. This room has computers. The museum has a small collection of musical instruments, highlights of which include a trapezoidal Savart-style violin that was played for many years on the streets of Aberdeen by an itinerant musician, and a coach horn known to have been used locally as late as the 1930s on one of the last horse-drawn stagecoaches operating in the United Kingdom.

Scotland Creates: Museum nan Eilean - Do you dare visit?
This film was made by Ruairidh Macleod and Zoee Macinnes, young volunteers at Museum nan Eilean, as part of the Scotland Creates project.
Funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Creative Scotland, Scotland Creates gives young people aged 16-24 years old the chance to work with five partner museums and other creative organisations. One of the aims of the project is to encourage young people to use technology to connect, collaborate and get creative. So we asked volunteers from each of the five partners to create a short film to promote their museum to other young people.

Confirmation: Coming of Age in Denmark and the U.S
Online presentation made possible by Danish Sisterhood Lodge #15 - Milwaukee, WI.
In Denmark and the United States, the event of Confirmation - affirming one's baptismal pledge as a Christian - often marked the boundary between childhood and leaving school and the adult world in the Lutheran church as well as other Protestant denominations.
This presentation was given by Michele McNabb, Museum of Danish America Genealogy Center Manager & Librarian, at the museum on March 19, 2015 as part of the monthly Brown Bag Lunch series. This presentation is based on a photo exhibit from 2013. The link shown at the end of the film is here:
