Cultural Tides: Peterhead (Re-discovering, Re-imagining, Re-connecting)

The Cultural Tides project is about actively engaging communities with the cultural heritage of Aberdeenshire; realising commercial and economic development opportunities; and regenerating existing historical assets to offer a significantly improved visitor experience for communities and tourists alike. At the heart of the project is the fit-out of the new museum galleries at Arbuthnot House, Peterhead, as well as a programme of community engagement linked to the museum and library relocation. Communities of interest will have access to hundreds more artefacts, and to a range of co-curation opportunities to produce exciting creative works that will be installed across the new development. The house's former walled garden will be reimagined as a much-needed public greenspace in the heart of Peterhead offering space for eating, for relaxation, for events and for community growing.
