Local volunteers with an interest in Fife’s history are being urged to come forward to help out at the National Trust for Scotland’s Hill of Tarvit near Cupar and Kellie Castle, Pittenweem.
Local volunteers with an interest in Fife’s history are being urged to come forward to help out at the National Trust for Scotland’s Hill of Tarvit near Cupar and Kellie Castle, Pittenweem.
The volunteers would help the historic properties provide a first class service to visitors, with roles available in retail, catering and gardening at both properties.
Property Manager Roger Brown said:
“As a conservation charity, we are always on the look out for dedicated and talented volunteers to share their skills and experience with us. At Kellie Castle and at Hill of Tarvit, we are looking for help in a range of roles. The positions would be suitable for local people who can spare at least 4 or 5 hours per week, are able to work flexibly as our requirements vary, preferably have their own transport, and who have a keen interest in the history of Fife and want to share that with our visitors.”
Elizabeth Candlish who currently volunteers as a guide at Kellie Castle explains why she gives up her time to the charity. She said:
“There is something about the atmosphere at Kellie, it is just so special. I really believe it does my soul good spending time there. However, it’s the people that really make the experience what it is – you just never know who is going to walk into the room next.”
Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer should contact Helen Blyde on 01333 720271 or hblyde@nts.org.uk.
