The Heritage Arts Auchmithie Residents –The Haar are a group of Auchmithie folk, who fifteen years ago decided to celebrate and keep alive the fishing history and lore of Auchmithie. They do this through delving into all the writings and photos of the area and bringing some of the characters back to life in re- enactments that we perform in and around Auchmithie. In recent years, requests to the group to bring our stories out and about has taken us all over Angus and beyond to tell these stories.
