It’s still early days, but we’re really excited to be embarking on this new research project in collaboration with colleagues at the National Trust for Scotland!

During this initial phase of setting up the research, we have already had some really interesting discussions about social value with Trust staff, volunteers, and partners. In September, together with another colleague from the University, I visited the Mar Lodge Estate for a session on people, landscape and cultural heritage in the Cairngorms National Park, and the picture below was taken earlier this month, when Siân and I joined the Trust’s Public Engagement and Research team meeting at Branklyn Gardens in Perth.

As our research progresses, we will be posting about our activities and findings on the News & Updates page, so please check back again later for details of what we have been up to and have planned.
