A royal message in our summer magazine
Members can read the full letter on pages 2–3 of the magazine, which will arrive with them from 14 June.
The Duke of Rothesay has been the Trust’s patron since 2003 and takes a close interest in our conservation work across Scotland.
He re-opened Craigievar Castle in Aberdeenshire in 2010, following the completion of a pioneering project to reharl the famous pink castle in traditional materials. In his welcome letter, he explains that Craigievar is a place with special significance for him.
His Royal Highness writes: ‘We who love Scotland will all have our personal list of places which have a special meaning for us. In my case, I think of Craigievar Castle, with its fascinating symmetry and its beguiling colour.’ He goes on to recall his sailing trips around Scotland’s west coast and in particular his experiences of St Kilda, which he visited in 1971.
The letter closes with a thank you to our members: ‘You, as members and supporters of the Trust, should be rightly proud of what you have enabled this charity to do for Scotland and for all who love this land.’
We couldn’t agree more.
