THE National Trust for Scotland is offering up some happy Easter memories, with 32 special trails at its properties across the country.
The Trust’s properties will host the family-friendly events from Friday, April 7 to Monday April, 10.
Sites include the Glencoe National Nature Reserve, Pollock House in Glasgow, and Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire, which will reopen just before the event.
Visitors can follow the trails, find the challenging clues to solve a tricky puzzle and win some chocolatey prizes.
The events will take place in the gardens and grounds of castles, homes, towers and countryside places owned and cared for by the conservation organisation.
Each and every trail will be a unique experience and the Trust is encouraging treasure-hunters to try as many as they can.
Jim Whyteside, National Trust for Scotland director of customer and cause, said: “We’re really eggs-cited to launch our Easter trails this year with a bumper number of events taking place at our properties up and down the country.
“The trails offer a fun day out that can be enjoyed by all the family or can be a great way to keeps kids entertained while parents explore our beautiful gardens, historic properties or countryside places.
"The trails support our goal to provide inspiring visitor experiences at our properties, offering nature, beauty and heritage for everyone as part of our vision outlined in our 10-year strategy, launched in 2022.
“The funds raised through our Easter trails support our vital work and will allow us to continue to care for and protect Scotland’s cultural and natural assets now and into the future for everyone to enjoy.”
The Trust’s conservation work includes climate activism and upkeep and restoration of heritage sites, which these trails will help towards.
Entry to the trails costs £4 per person.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
