Newstead's Stonemasons Trail will be launched at the Sundials Festival on 7th September.
Stewart Wilson, The Tweed Valley Blogger, will lead participants on a guided tour, bringing to life the legacy of the stonemasons who built Melrose Abbey and made Newstead their home. Learn about the importance of Newstead's masonic lodge, the traditions of its members and the generations of masons who's ancestors continue to live locally. Stewart will uncover the hidden marks and sundials scattered around Newstead left behind as they practiced their craft along with more recent tales of Newstead's former residents.
Booking is necessary.
Details to follow.
As a lasting legacy Stewart's guided tour will be translated into map and self-guided tour for residents and visitors to enjoy going forwards.
Watch this space for details as the Map takes shape.
