The Scottish launch of the Dorna Project took place at Portsoy Traditional Boat Festival, Moray Coast on 2 July. GalGael's marquee with displays of wood carving, pole lathe work, wool craft, pottery and leatherwork housed a Dorna information stall for the remainder of the Festival until 5 July.
The event was well attended by the public and traditional boat community alike. It was a great opportunity to talk to people about Dorna and the potential benefits to future traditional boat building. Our partners from the Causeway Coast Maritime Heritage Group joined us for the event and were on hand to talk about their work conserving some of the rich maritime culture of the North Irish Coast and sailing in their currach the Colmcille.
Dorna is an exciting trans-European sustainable development project for the Atlantic Northwest that will explore potential in the traditional boats sector.
As the Scottish partner, GalGael will work with five partners coming from the coastal communities of the Basque Country and Galicia in Spain, Portugal and the Causeway Coast in Ireland.
This site will provide basic details of the project and updates on progress...
