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 Dunkeld and the Hermitage.
The fourth in a series of six walking podcasts available for free at
www.nts.org.uk/multimedia, the download takes visitors from the picturesque Dunkeld, to the Hermitage and then on a woodland walk to Ossian’s Hall.
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 wildlife walk around the dramatic Glencoe and a stroll around the medieval streets of Culross, Fife.
Marketing Manager Clare Willis said:
“Dunkeld and its surrounding area are great locations 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.”
