School Dux is a tradition which continues today recognising the pupil who is academically first in the school year.
Staff at the Gateway to the Glens museum recently received a watercolour of Kirriemuir’s Websters Seminary school which commemorated the award of Dux medal to Marguerite Boyd in 1932.
Good luck to all the Angus Dux pupils in their final school year.

Exciting news today! 😀🐿️👇

Port 525 Montrose opened today in Montrose Museum celebrating 525 years since King James IV gave possession of the harbour of Montrose to the Provost, Magistrates and Town Council in 1493. This charter allowed them to trade with many British ports and build trading links with many European Countries. The charter is on loan from Angus Archives and is displayed with objects which show the harbour's developement and the industries which grew and faded with the times.Through the centuries the port grew and forged worldwide connections and continues to be a dynamic hub of maritime activity.

Tickets are available now - Join us if you dare for our historical walk which explores the darkside of the Wee Red Toon, but watch out for some of the notorious characters who might appear!
