We are both lucky enough to work at Culloden Battlefield and Visitors Centre based in the bonnie highlands of Scotland and are both Visitor Experience Champions for the site. (We like the title because we get to call ourselves champions, pretty awesome.) Basically this means we look for new ways to make your visit more enjoyable, interesting, rewarding and of course fun. Thus, we came up with this blog to try and get you all excited about the National Trust for Scotland and all the amazing things it has to offer. Doubt us? Well when you’ve got castles, gardens, mountains, battlefields, cottages, islands, estates, houses, coasts and so on there is something for everyone!
Now since we are based in the north we don’t deny that we might be a bit biased and its a given that we will be keeping you up to date on all the Culloden news since we are here quite a bit but fortunately there is a whole army of visitor experience champions across the country making sure we include every area and showcase all the best properties and sites across the Trust and hopefully found out bit to inspire you to visit!
