Try something new this year with the National Trust for Scotland
Land rover safaris, sea kayaking and podcast tours are just a few of the treats on offer at National Trust for Scotland properties this summer and beyond.
The Trust’s season begins this Easter weekend and as the charity gears up for the busy season ahead, the message from Chief Executive Mark Adderley is that there’s more to the charity than tweeds and tearooms.
He said:
“The Trust has something for everyone - whether you’re interested in arts, the outdoors or good food. To kick the season off this weekend, we’ve got a great programme of Easter events to keep people of all ages occupied. As well as our many Easter egg hunts, you could try your hand at falconry at Fyvie Castle, race rubber ducks at Barry Mill or even learn more about waste awareness at Haddo House.
“That’s just for starters. This summer why not get outdoors and explore one of our 46 Munros with a ranger, spend time paddling round Scotland’s beautiful coastline or get away from it all at one of our more far-flung destinations, like Canna or Inverewe Garden. Keen conservationists can even dedicate their time off to work to protect wildlife and plants through our popular Thistle camps. So why don’t you get out, explore and enjoy!”
