National Trust of Scotland president Jackie Bird invites members to AGM in Inverness
The National Trust for Scotland is inviting its many members based in the Highlands to attend its AGM at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness next month.
President of the conservation charity Jackie Bird said: “The AGM is the place for our members to gather and hear more about how their support enables our great work.
"This will be a chance to meet the charity’s new chair, hear about our huge range of projects to protect nature, beauty and heritage, and our chance to say thank you to all who support our charity.”
Also joining Jackie for the AGM on Friday 19 September will be recently-appointed trust chair, Dame Sue Bruce and chief executive Phil Long.
The programme will feature presentations on key conservation projects achieved over the past year, with a special focus on the restoration and re-opening of Canna House.
Acclaimed Gaelic musicians Pàdruig Morrison and Claire Frances MacNeil will perform original music inspired by the unique collection gathered by scholars John Lorne Campbell and Margaret Fay Shaw who lived at Canna House.
Mr Long said: “We are very much looking forward to coming to Inverness to meet as many members as possible at our AGM.
“It will be a pleasure to share news of the work that the National Trust for Scotland has carried out across the Highlands and Islands over the past year.
“From St Kilda to Culloden and Glencoe and so many places in between, we are privileged to play our part in protecting the heritage that is important to us all.”
The AGM is open to all members of the National Trust for Scotland. For more information and to register, visit www.nts.org.uk.
