Welcome to OurStory Scotland

OurStory Scotland is a recognised Scottish Charity. We collect, archive and present the life stories and experiences of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual & transgender) community in Scotland. This involves oral history work with all ages, including the older generation, whose stories reveal the tremendous changes that have occurred in the situation of LGBT people during their lifetime. In addition to collecting stories, images, artefacts and research materials from LGBT lives, we present our heritage through the arts, in exhibitions, storytelling and drama.

OurStory Scotland dates back to the beginning of the 21st century - read about our origins in the Story of OurStory Scotland, and see our achievements month by month in our chronology. Our latest news includes the award of a substantial grant from Communities Scotland.

We hope you will contribute to our activities and help to ensure that our stories are kept alive. Do take part, tell your story and encourage others to participate, so that untold tales are told. Just contact us and we'll let you know the various ways you can participate.

Open to All

In accordance with our belief in a diverse Scotland, OurStory Scotland is open to all supporters of our aims, regardless of gender, sexuality, disability, race, ethnicity, religion, culture and community. We are dedicated to social inclusion and the celebration of diversity.
