What the charity does
The charity was set up to maintain Strachur Smiddy as a living museum where people can see and learn blacksmithing skills in a traditional setting., To achieve that we own the Smiddy which was originally set up in the 18th century. We maintain the building and open it as a museum where visitors can watch a blacksmith at work. Our regular blacksmith has trained others , and we encourage enthusiasts to practice and develop their metal working skills on days when the Smiddy is not open to visitors. In this way we hope to develop and sustain blacksmith's skills into the future.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Old Smiddy Strachur Museum Society is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
