Step inside the beautifully conserved Abbey Strand Centre to explore 500 years of history this Doors Open weekend.
Discover how the building was used as a weapons store during the reign of James V; as courtiers’ lodgings for the court of Mary, Queen of Scots; as a sanctuary for some 6,000 people in debt; and a site of taverns and tearooms.
No need to book - just turn up. You can also join a guided tour of the Physic Garden at 11:00, 13:00 or 15:00 on the day.
