FeaturedThe Institute/Library Aberdour Library, Aberdour, Fife, UKWe invite you, from the comfort of your seat, on a filmed walk through the village of Aberdour, where every street, building and boundary tells a story. As we explore, Arthur Lloyd uncovers how centuries of daily life have shaped the village’s character, from its earliest origins to the community you see today.
The layout of roads, the position of homes, and the marks left by landowners, communities and industry all reveal a living history formed over hundreds of years. By looking closely and moving at walking pace, Arthur explores how the past continues to influence the present in this quietly evolving village.
