We are a charity dedicating to promoting the art work of 19th century artist Sir Joseph Noël Paton and his family. As part of this we are restoring the woodland garden in Dunfermline which inspired his famous fairy paintings. The woodland, owned by Fife Council, had been left abandoned, derelict and heavily littered - our volunteers have cleared decades of rubbish and scrub so that the area can be used by the community to connect with nature, take exercise, engage in outdoor learning activities and be inspired. We also work with arts organisations and local community groups to create exhibitions, information boards and outdoor walking trails, which help to tell the story of the Patons.

Objectives: 1: The advancement of the arts, heritage, and culture through activities which will educate people of all backgrounds about the Patons of Dunfermline and the importance of their role in Scottish culture, art, and history. 2: The advancement of community development through activities involving the local community in bringing a derelict property back into community use, creating learning opportunities about Dunfermline?s rich cultural history in relation to the Patons and their influence in art, sculpture and local textile manufacturing.
