For today's #MuseumMonday we are going just along the road to The Laing Museum in Newburgh. The museum has a fab collection of photographs, documents and artefacts from the town and the surrounding area and is run by the Newburgh Ancestry and History Society.

It's time for another #WeeDaunderDoonMemoryLane and we are going back to October 1945, and the district news section of the Perthshire Advertiser. The hot topics? The installation of electric street lights and the tattie harvest. #localhistory #scottishhistory #localmuseum

Welcome to #WritingWednesday This amazing legal document we have in the museum shows how ornate and intricate handwriting used to be. Reading documents like this can be an integral part of a historian's research. #scottishhistory #localhistory #localmuseum #perthshire

Just because the museum is closed for the winter doesn't mean you have to do without your history fix. So welcome to #MuseumMonday. We are starting with @perthmuseumuk , which is familiar to many, and includes the Carpow Logboat, which was uncovered right here. #localhistory

Okay, I'm not saying I got a telling off for last week's #whatisitwednesday, but let's just say I'm probably not in the running for Social Media Guru's best sidekick (and I'm the only one!). So here's one that is hopefully not quite so tricky. #localmuseum #scottishhistory

This wee piece from the Fife News in 1941 was part of an article called "In and Around Newburgh" and features our #VeryFamousTower, so we thought it was perfect for this week's #WeeDaunderDoonMemoryLane.

Okay, we apologise for saying this, but... It's 100 days until Christmas, according to our calendar. This photo is from a WRI Christmas party in 1936. What are your favourite memories of Christmas in Abernethy? #localhistory #scottishhistory #christmas #localmuseum
