Travellers Tales

The walk will put in context the huge amount of wealth brought to the town by the Scotch Cattle Trade in the late 18th and up to mid 19th century. The walk will include interesting historical anecdotes, built evidence of the part travel and settlement have played in shaping the town over the years and brief histories of once renowned travellers from the town. As well as interpreting specific sites, we will also see how influences from other countries are reflected by various building styles in the town.
