Members of a Wishaw outdoor group held a successful event showcasing local history.
Campfire History brought people together to see their local heritage, enjoy nature and the greenspace around and socialising with like minded individuals and sharing stories, knowledge and keeping the heritage alive.
The event in and around Cambusnethan Priory was deemed a great success with 50-60 people attending across the course of the day with the age range coming from three to 81 all out exploring our natural forestry and looking at the old heritage within the area.
Graham Butt, from the group, said: 'It was great meeting new faces and enjoying the company of old friends who have followed on the 'campfire history journey' from the start.
'Big shout out goes to Graham Smith of Friends of Cambusnethan Priory for delivering the tour to our Ukrainian guests who visited. The partnership working between groups really makes life easier.
'Another shout out to Morrisons in Wishaw for the donation tea and coffee.
'One of the best things out there for our wellbeing is our natural forestry. Being able to share that with like minded individuals is an excellent way to make ourselves feel better.
'To socialise, learn new skills, experience something new and different. It's all about bringing people together.
'We would like to say thanks for those who made a donation towards costs, we are a self funded group and the donations will go towards the tea, coffee and biscuits for the next one.'
