Who We Are

The Montrose Natural History and Antiquarian Society is based at Montrose Museum and was formed in 1836, making it the second oldest Antiquarian Society in Scotland. It provides a focal point for those interested in the local history, archaeology, and the natural world of Montrose and the surrounding area. The main activity for the Society centres around a series of talks that take place on the second Tuesday of every month between September and April. These talks are open to all, not just to our members. To see the full programme of talks for the season, please click on Programme above.

We now have a Facebook page Facebook.

The next meeting of the Montrose Natural History and Antiquarian Society will be held at 7:30pm on Tuesday 9th April 2024 in Montrose Museum when Wendy Turner will give a talk entitled Airedales: Dogs of War.

She is secretary and treasurer of The Airedale Terrier Club of Scotland and Breed Rescue Coordinator of The Airedale Terrier Club of Scotland Breed Rescue - a registered Scottish Charity (SC042141). She will speak about the Airedale Terrier dogs trained in Angus for World War One. This was something that had disappeared from the history of Angus and was only brought to the fore when BBC Scotland News asked her to do a bit for a news programme, talking about the use of the Airedales in World War One. From this the idea of a monument to these brave dogs became her work for the next two years.

The Museum doors will open at 7pm, with the meeting starting at 7:30pm.
