Grateful grandkids can say thanks to their treasured grannies and grandads with a free day out on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October 2008, thanks to the National Trust for Scotland.

Simply by cutting out the coupons in the local press or printing off the special voucher from www.nts.org.uk/grandparentsday children can take a grandparent for free to any of the Trust’s 129 properties across Scotland, when a child pays admission.

National events manager, Jill McNicol said:

“The Trust is packed with perfect places to take gran or grandad this weekend to thank them for all the time and treats that they spoil you with all year round.

“Whether it’s studying the fascinating story of the Battle of Culloden at our hugely popular new visitor centre or taking in a beautiful autumnal woodland walk at the glorious Threave garden, there is something to suit visitors of all ages at the Trust.”
