In the centre of the market town of Forfar, visit The Meffan to explore the Forfar Story. Let the sounds guide you through the narrow and cobbled recreation of The Vennel as you peer through the windows of Peter Reid’s sweet shop, the knockmaker’s workshop and the bakery. You can also find out about the Forfar witches and learn more about the mysterious Picts through a collection enigmatic sculptured stones.
The museum’s art gallery showcases the work of local, national and internationally-renowned artists.
