This audio tour takes you around some of the ancient village of Meigle's great monuments and back through 5,000 years of human history. The audio comes from a "Promenade Play" commissioned by the Cateran Ecomuseum from writer, director and theatre maker, Phil Baarda, in 2023. It interweaves local stories, anecdotes and myths about Meigle and the surrounding area, which have been gathered from local sources, and re-told and shaped in a contemporary way.
The audio features local musicians alongside actors Hannah Anderson and Benjamin L Wray, supported by Sherry Morris.
