Tain Through Time is a unique visitor centre. It illustrates the turbulent history of an ancient burgh by a combination of audio-visual presentation, live acting, artefacts, photographs and documents, in a complex of three historic buildings.

Go into the medieval church where King James IV wrestled with his guilt over his father's death, and find out what the church would have been like in pre-Reformation times. Watch the dramatic sound and light show in The Pilgrimage to learn the story of St. Duthac's miracles and how the sanctuary was violated in horrible circumstances

 

The Tarbat Discovery Programme is a collaborative project between the Tarbat Historic Trust, Highland Council and the University of York
It aims to restore the church of St Colman in the village, research the Pictish, Norse and Medieval site in which the church stands, and create an exhibition in the restored church.

 

Nigg Old Church, in the Highlands of Scotland, is a fine example of a Scottish parish church and - since it houses a magnificent Pictish stone of the late eighth century, carved with Pictish symbols and Christian imagery - it is likely that it stands on what has been a place of Christian worship for at least 1200 years. It has, to this day, an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity.
