Over the coming months, we’ll be spending our Salt of the Earth - Preston, Seton, Gosford Heritage Connections grant funds on improvements to the museum and conservation work at the Auld Kirk salt pan site.

"It has been amazing to see funds reallocated to local community-led heritage projects to achieve volunteer-led work that brings heritage engagement back to local people."
