Drongan has a long and proud history, Here are just some of the major dates in the history of the town.
1390s - Lands around Drongan granted to Craufurds
1844 - Schaw Kirk opened
1930 - Original rows of houses at Taiglum demolished
1946 - Development of Drongan as a new town begins
2002 - Drongan Centre opened
Now it's your turn!
That's the briefest of brief summaries, and hardly covers the most important dates. But this is where you come in. There's lots of interest in local history and lots of local knowledge out there - so why not share it here? To add to the time-line, all you have to do is click on the edit button.
Or perhaps you'd like to start your own article about another aspect of Drongan history? You can do that, too. There must also be a wealth of wonderful photographs of old Drongan - maybe even some video of more recent events - and those are more than welcome here.
Post it all here, and let's see if we can really chronicle the history of Drongan in a way we can all share!
