Successful summer for Haddo
The National Trust for Scotland’s Haddo House near Ellon ended the season on a high note last week, as figures show it has performed strongly this summer season.
The National Trust for Scotland’s Haddo House near Ellon ended the season on a high note last week, as figures show it has performed strongly this summer season.
The William Adam designed house welcomed almost 13,000 visitors between 21 March and 31 October –an increase of more than 35 per cent on last year.
This is encouraging news in a summer where tourist attractions across the UK were hit by poor weather, increasing petrol prices and the credit crunch.
Senior Assistant Tina Low said:
“We are very pleased that we’ve managed to attract even more visitors this year. It is a testament to the efforts of our staff and a confirmation of the quality of the experience that Haddo offers that we have had such a strong season, despite some challenging circumstances.”
Haddo House re-opens in spring 2009.
