Doors Open Days is Scotland’s largest free festival that celebrates heritage and the built environment, new and old. Every September, you can explore hundreds of fascinating buildings across Scotland for free. Some open up once a year, some just once in a lifetime.

Doors Open Days is a national event run by the Scottish Civic Trust. Information about the national programme, including event listings, can be found at www.doorsopendays.org.uk. Doors Open Days, along with Scottish Archaeology Month take place throughout Scotland and are part of European Heritage Days – an initiative which promotes a sense of community and a “common heritage” throughout the continent.

Programme Highlights:

Bellshill Central Parish Church
The main Bellshill Central Parish Church building is the former Macdonald Memorial Chirch and was designed by David Clunas and constructed in 1876. It is described as a Gothic, gabled rectangular-plan church with set-back gabletted buttresses with pairs of Gothic rectangular windows with inverted rounded corners and vertical stone mullions, on both upper and lower levels. It is set back from the main road and the principal elevation has a pointed-arch timber panelled door to centre. Bellshill Central Parish Church was formed in March 2014 when the former Macdonald Memorial and Orbiston Parish Churches were united as one. Part of the outreach of the former Orbiston Parish Church is the Orbiston Neighbourhood Centre which provides a community focus for adults and young people.

Colzium House
Situated in the beautiful Colzium Lennox Estate, Colzium House was once the seat of the Edmonstone family but became the property of the Burgh of Kilsyth after the Second World War. Built in 1783, it was substantially enlarged in 1861. Much of the original building was pulled down in the late 1940s, due to dry rot, but the Victorian frontage and wings survive to form the house we see today. The museum comprises a single room on the second floor of the house, converted out of the former chapel. Displays relate to the heritage of the surrounding area and include objects from the nearby castles of Colzium and Kilsyth as well as photographs and artefacts from the domestic and industrial settings of the locality.

Cumbernauld Trinity Parish Church
Cumbernauld Trinity Church in the Village is a historic B-Listed building dating from the 17th century, built on 13th century foundations, and has been a continuous place of Christian worship since 1659.

Holy Trinity Scottish Episcopal Church
This is the only dedicated Scottish Episcopal Church for the Motherwell area. The Church opened on 6 June 1884 and was consecrated on 21 November 1896. The Scottish Episcopal Church is diverse in its tradition, outlook and culture. Such diversity enriches the Church and is expressed in warm relationships of mutual respect for one another. Firmly rooted in the life of Scotland and part of its rich history, the Scottish Episcopal Church is also deeply committed to its membership of the world-wide Anglican Communion, which is a family of over 70 million Christians in more than 160 countries.

New Monkland Parish Church
New Monkland is a parish church and has been in situ for 385 years in the village of Glenmavis. Often referred to as the Auld Grey Kirk on the Hill, this historical building has a covenanter background is a B listed building with a bell tower that is A listed. The church is attractive and has 13 beautiful stained-glass windows by renowned artists. The church plays an important role in the life of the village.
