Heritage Festival
Our Stories was the first ever area-wide Heritage Festival organised across West Dunbartonshire
Clydesider coordinated the festival during May 2026, to coincide with Local and Community History Month. The festival saw 48 events take place over the month, showcasing West Dunbartonshire's fascinating and varied heritage across walks, talks, open days, film screenings and exhibitions.
You can access the programme for the festival here.
