Clea Warner, National Trust for Scotland regional director for the Highlands and Islands region, said: “We’re really eggs-cited to launch our Easter trails this year with a bumper number of events taking place at our properties up and down the country. The trails offer a fun day out that can be enjoyed by all the family or can be a great way to keeps kids entertained while parents explore our beautiful gardens, historic properties or countryside places.
"The trail at Torridon supports our goal to provide inspiring visitor experiences at our properties, offering nature, beauty and heritage for everyone as part of our vision outlined in our 10-year strategy launched in 2022. The funds raised through our Easter trails support our vital work and will allow us to continue to care for and protect Scotland’s cultural and natural assets now and into the future for everyone to enjoy.”
The Easter trail starts at the deer museum in Torridon from 11am-3pm (last entry 3pm).
Torridon is a magnificent mountain paradise for hikers, climbers, geologists and nature lovers and is considered by many to be the embodiment of the North Highland landscape. Home to five of the 46 Munros in the National Trust for Scotland’s care, this enchanting wilderness of water and rock is part of the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve and supports an impressive variety of wildlife, flora and fauna, including rare mosses and lichens, the elusive pine martin and golden eagle.
The properties in the Trust’s care, and activities such as the Easter trails, contribute to its strategy to deliver Nature, Beauty & Heritage for Everyone. The 10-year strategy, unveiled in 2022, refocuses its vision of caring for, sharing, and conserving Scotland’s heritage. Read more about the strategy at: https://www.nts.org.uk/our-work/our-strategy

About the National Trust for Scotland
National Trust for Scotland fact file
Established in 1931, the National Trust for Scotland is Scotland’s largest conservation charity and cares for, shares and speaks up for Scotland’s magnificent heritage.
Over the last 90 years the Trust has pioneered public access to and shared ownership of some of the most magnificent buildings, collections and landscapes in Scotland. It cares for more than 100 sites, from ancient houses to battlefields, castles, mills, gardens, coastlines, islands, mountain ranges and the plants and animals which depend upon them.
In March 2022 the National Trust for Scotland launched Nature, Beauty & Heritage for Everyone, its ten-year strategy which sets out the ambitions of the charity over the coming decade. From speaking up for Scotland’s heritage which doesn’t have a voice, to improving the lives and wellbeing of people across the country, and responding to the climate and biodiversity crisis, the Trust will build on its work in recent years to grow its impact and conserve and restore more of Scotland’s heritage, as it moves towards its centenary in 2031.
Scotland’s largest membership organisation, the National Trust for Scotland relies on the support of its members and donors to carry out its important work.
