Homecoming at Signal Tower

Visitors are being invited by Arbroath's Signal Tower Museum to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scotland's national bard Robert Burns.

The museum has a display dedicated to the traditional food and poetry associated with a Burns Supper and recent acquisitions, for Valentines Day in February, of love tokens and the haunting love poetry of Burns.

In April Tartan Week and the anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, a topic Burns wrote so eloquently about, will be reflected in the museum's displays. Throughout the year the museum will present some of the cultural contributions Arbroath, and Scotland, have made to the world. May and June will feature the inventors, innovators and eminent Arbroathians

July will open with a display on local golf to coincide with The Open Golf Championship at Turnberry. By late summer the focus will be on ancient history with an archaeology exhibit in tandem with Scottish Archaeology. Approaching St Andrews day, in November, the music that has made Scotland famous will be featured - with an Arbroath twist.

The museum is open Monday - Saturday 10 am to 5 pm and on Sundays from 2pm to 5pm in July and August.
