A new permanent exhibition has opened in Inverness telling the story of one of Scotland's national sports, shinty (known in Gaelic as iomain or camanachd). The exhibition, entitled 'Shinty's Story - Sgeul na Camanachd', is based at the Bught Park Pavilion, Inverness (the home of Inverness Shinity Club), and was part-funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund with a grant of £544,000.
'Shinty's Story' builds on four key pillars - Foundation, Community, Competition and Future, wih the exhibition featuring medals and other shinty memorabilia, digital displays and stories from players - both past and present.
The exhibition is free to attend and open from Friday to Tuesday from 9.00am to 5.00pm.
A BBC article in Gaelic about the opening is available at https://www.bbc.co.uk/naidheachdan/sgeulachdan/c0jdzj15v0no. The project has its own dedicated Facebook page in English at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582280150903.
