The LDHS was founded in 1983. Its purpose is to host a lecture and fieldwork programme on historical topics which extends from the local to the international. The LDHS also provides a forum for local research and record keeping. The aim of the Yearbook is to celebrate what we have achieved over the previous year. It gives me an opportunity to thank all the people who work so willingly to make the enjoyment of History part of the community life of Linton and the area around it. I hope you enjoy reading about the society and all its activities. If you wish to join us, you would be very welcome. Fiona Morison Chairman Linton and District History Society . April 2015.
