We also share some more in-depth stories about the Trust’s work:

Nature and climate

‘The opportunity to spend a month on St Kilda felt like a dream come true.’

Auld acquaintances

Meet some of the people who had the biggest influence on Robert Burns.

‘Burns certainly seemed troubled by the loss of Mary, telling a friend that he had been “pining under secret wretchedness ... with some wandering stabs of remorse”.’

Ready to land

Island of legend

The Isle of Staffa and the sublime acoustics of Fingal’s Cave have long motivated artists, writers and musicians into surges of creativity.

‘Nature’s symphony creates a cacophony of unnerving rumbles and booms, as air is sucked in and blasted out of the cave by the wind and the waves.’
