Fun-seeking families are invited to come and celebrate the first weekend of the summer holidays (26-27 June) by exploring trails around National Trust for Scotland properties. Visitors can reconnect with the places they love, uncover clues as they explore and receive a delicious Mackie’s chocolate treat for their efforts.
Taking place at 13 National Trust for Scotland properties and locations from Saturday 26 June – Sunday 27 June, families can celebrate the start of summer with our Summertime Explorer trails through beautiful gardens and grounds, all over the country, from Brodie Castle in Moray all the way down to Culzean Castle and Country Park in Ayrshire.
Mackie’s Marketing Director Karin Hayhow said: “We hope that after the last year and a half, the chance to have a proper family day out, at amazing settings, while hunting for clues will generate lots of fun.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with The Trust and support its incredible properties and grounds that are part of Scotland’s fabric.”
National Trust for Scotland’s Director of Customer & Cause, Mark Bishop said: “We’re thankful to our friends at Mackie’s of Scotland for helping us to create this summertime adventure for families. It’s the perfect start to what we’re all hoping will be a summer of adventure and outdoor fun, in places that we love. So, get your thinking caps on and come and explore our beautiful places!”
