History
Formed in 2005, the ‘Friends’ quickly established a reputation for an educational and entertaining winter programme, with members raising funds, assisting with and organising events at the galleries and on occasion acting as volunteer stewards at exhibitions.

History has always mattered to Scots, and rarely more so than now at the outset of a new century, with a new census appearing in 2011 and after more than ten years of a new parliament.
An almost limitless archive of our history lies hidden inside our bodies and we carry the ancient story of Scotland around with us.
The mushrooming of genetic studies, of DNA analysis, is rewriting our history in spectacular fashion.
In The Scots: A Genetic Journey, Alistair Moffat explores the history that is printed on our genes, and in a remarkable new approach, uncovers the detail of where we are from, who we are and in so doing colour vividly a DNA map of Scotland.
Alistair Moffat was born and bred in the Scottish Borders. A former Director of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Director of Programmes at Scottish Television, he now runs the burgeoning Borders Book Festival as well as a production company based near Selkirk.
