Conservation charity, the National Trust for Scotland, embraced the digital age today as it launched a podcast to take visitors on a scenic walk around the iconic Crathes Castle, Aberdeenshire.
The third in a series of six walking podcasts available for free at
www.nts.org.uk/multimedia, the download features Crathes head gardener Callum Pirnie and ranger Fiona Milne.
The podcasts are designed to encourage visitors to enjoy walking at Trust properties and include a wander around the tranquil Priorwood and Harmony gardens in Melrose, a woodland walk at the Hermitage, Dunkeld, a wildlife walk around the dramatic Glencoe and a stroll around the medieval streets of Culross, Fife.
Marketing Manager Clare Willis said:
“Crathes is a great place for walks and there is so much to see. Joining a guided tour or a ranger-led walk is a great way to learn more, but it’s just not convenient for every visitor. Free podcasts give us a great opportunity to highlight the very best of the Trust’s properties. Whether it’s a secluded spot in a beautiful garden, an impressive mountain vista or a fascinating fact about village life, there is something extra in there for our visitors. We hope the downloads will be used by visitors of all ages who want to get even more out of their time at a Trust property.”
