Scotland, embraced the digital age today as it launched a podcast to take visitors on a tour at the floral and fragrant Priorwood Garden and dried flower shop in Melrose.
The fifth in a series of six walking podcasts available for free at
www.nts.org.uk/multimedia, the download takes visitors on a tour of the garden, explaining which flowers flourish there.
The podcasts are designed to encourage visitors to enjoy walking at Trust properties and include a tour of the picturesque town of Dunkeld, a wildlife walk around the dramatic Glencoe and a stroll around the medieval streets of Culross, Fife.
Marketing Manager Clare Willis said:
“Priorwood is a magical garden to explore and there is so much to see. Joining a guided tour with a gardener 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.”
