Amazing experiences all year round

Membership is the gift that keeps on giving, with access to all of our places, free of charge, all year round. Here’s our seasonal guide to what to see and do.

Spring

As the country starts dusting itself off after winter, there’s loads to do – from spotting wildlife in our countryside places to taking in the dazzling daffodil displays at Brodie and Threave, and enjoying blooming borders around our gardens. Enjoy picnics in the fresh air or rainy days spent exploring historic houses.

Summer

Family memberships are priceless in the school holidays, and there’s an endless list of things to do with little ones – they can hike, bike and cut loose in one of our awesome play parks at Culzean, Newhailes, Brodick and Crathes. Of course, you don’t need children in tow to bag a Munro, explore a nature trail, relax on the beach or make the most of the different events we have on in the summer months.

Autumn

Number one on our autumn list is heading to our woodland places. The changing colours at Killiecrankie or Dollar Glen are breathtaking – and dogs love playing in the fallen leaves! It’s also a super time of year to soak up some culture at our historic houses and castles, and we host lots of spooky Halloween events aimed at little monsters.

Winter

This season means wrapping up warm and filling up flasks with something hot. Many of our places stay open through winter, with frosty walks or exploring fascinating parts of Scotland’s history at Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and the Battle of Bannockburn. We also host a variety of great festive events, from carol-singing and wreath-making to visits from Santa.
