Our Glen: Owning Our Futures

Hi there, thanks for following a link you saw in the Glen!

I'm Henri, and I'm a community artist working with the people from the surrounding area of Our Glen (Historic Douglas Support) to record and discover your stories of the past - particularly during the pandemic - and hopes for the future of the Glen. This project is in collaboration with Viewpark Conservation Group and Community Land Scotland.

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions and I'm looking forward to reading the stories and thoughts you share with me. You don't need to answer all the questions and you can write as much or as little as you like. Your words might be used for the final outcome of the project but they will be anonymous.

You can get in touch with me with any questions, if you'd like to be interviewed or to be kept up to date with the project:
