Annan - Our history. Our town. Our stories.
Annan The History Town
Annan is known as “The History Town” because of its extraordinary heritage; from ancient settlements and maritime trade to engineering, industry and cultural links that spread across the world.
The Annan The History Town Group (ATHT) believe that our town’s history and its stories need to be told: from Romans and Vikings, to Rabbie Burns, to shipbuilding and exports of fine red sandstone that travelled the world.
Who We are...
Annan The History Town Group (ATHT) is a community-led charity in the Scottish town of Annan, the Queen of the Border. The group is run by local trustees and volunteers who care deeply about the town.
What We Do...
ATHT celebrate Annan’s rich heritage and use it to support the community today. We run events, projects and activities that bring the town’s stories to life, and create opportunities for people of all ages to get involved.
Annan Today
