Grace Darling was 24 years old and living at a remote lighthouse with her father, who was the keeper. From the tower, she could see survivors clinging to rocks nearly a mile from shore. No rescue was coming. The sea was too rough and the distance too far. Grace and her father launched a small open rowing boat into the

As dawn broke on September 7, 1838, Grace Darling saw a disastrous end to a maritime business enterprise. The paddle-steamer Forfarshire, a modern piece of technology for trade and luxury travel, lay shattered on Big Harcar rock. While the ship owners faced a loss of property and their investment, nine souls clung to the wreckage, their lives the only valuable asset left. For Grace and her father, this discovery presented the ultimate opportunity to act. In a joint decision that defied popular m

In the early hours of one stormy morning, Grace Darling, the daughter of a lighthouse keeper, spotted the wreckage of the SS Forfarshire from the windows of Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands, where she lived.

At the Ford County Historical Society, preserving buildings and artifacts is not just about saving old bricks and mortar; it's about preserving the soul of the Ford County communities. Here’s why preservation matters to us: 1.

Tucked away in amongst the busy main streets of Forfar, you'd never know this was where Forfar Castle once stood! If you want to visit yourself, pick up the key from Ali's Newsagents or Chapter & Verse, then hunt down the wee locked gate on Canmore Street. This was probably the site of a Pictish stronghold, originally protected by Forfar Loch, becoming a royal castle by the year 1000. It was important enough for King Malcolm Canmore to call a parliament here in the mid 11th century! During the W
