Wartime Stories: The Shetland Bus | Banffshire At War

Join us at Banff Castle for Wartime Stories, bringing together a free community film screening and the return of our popular Banffshire at War exhibition.Hearts Across the Sea tells the remarkable story of the Shetland Bus – the clandestine wartime operation which linked Shetland with occupied Norway during the Second World War. The film is freely available to watch online, and we're delighted to bring it to Banff Castle for two special big-screen showings at 2pm and 3pm. The film runs for just over 30 minutes.We're also bringing back Banffshire at War, our popular 2025 exhibition exploring Banffshire's experience of the Second World War. From evacuees, rationing and everyday life on the Home Front to spies on the Banffshire coast, the RAF Banff Strike Wing and the wartime stories of Banff Castle and Banff Distillery, the exhibition brings together photographs, newspaper reports, personal stories and wartime postcards to tell the story of our area at war.Hearts Across the Sea screenings: 2pm & 3pm
