    Pick up the perfect Christmas present and help protect and preserve some of Scotland’s most important cultural and natural treasures by shopping with the National Trust for Scotland this winter.

    This year, the Trust has a bigger range of gifts than ever to choose from – everything from fabulous, indulgent food to glittering jewellery and quirky homeware.

    There is also a fine selection on Christmas decorations and accessories on offer in shops and at www.nts.org.uk/Shop/.

    Online, the revamped shop has more than 400 products to choose from. Gift membership can also be purchased online, as well as at Trust properties across Scotland. Members enjoy free entry to the Trust’s 130 properties across the country. Family membership costs from as little as £5 per month.

    You can also make gift donations to the Trust on behalf of a loved one – an unusual gift option that makes a contribution to the charity’s work to conserve some of Scotland’s most precious cultural and natural treasures. Visit www.nts.org.uk/Donate/Gift/ to select a gift that supports the Trust’s gardens, historic collections, buildings or mountains.
