Have you got the key to Scotland’s treasures?

The staff at the National Trust for Scotland’s Culross Palace have got the key to the treasures of Scotland this summer and are sharing it with visitors, as part of a fun summer campaign.

The National Trust for Scotland is running its biggest ever recruitment drive this summer and is asking visitors to get involved by taking selfies with their giant keys at properties all over Scotland, then sharing them with the hashtag #GotTheKey.

Property Manager Elaine Longmuir said:
‘We are so excited to be sharing the key to the treasures of Scotland with our visitors this summer and introducing them to the spectacular scenery, amazing history and unforgettable experiences that the Trust has to offer when you join’.

Culross Palace has a varied programme of summer events for visitors to enjoy, many focusing on the spookier stories from the historic house’s long history.

You can follow the Trust on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – we’re looking forward to seeing your best #GotTheKey selfies.
