Glencoe ‘pod’-cast sows seeds of love
A giant egg-like pod will appear in Glencoe next Monday July 2 as the National Trust for Scotland invites visitors to tell the nation what they love about Scotland.
The futuristic-looking pod is taking to the road as part of the charity’s For the Love of Scotland campaign, which launched in April with a film featuring some of Scotland’s best-loved celebrities – from Gerard Butler and Brian Cox to Judy Murray and Evelyn Glennie – describing what they love about Scotland.
Visitors on the day will be invited to enter the specially-made pod to view the film and then record their own thoughts about what makes Scotland such a special place – the best contributions might make it on to the trust’s website. It also gives people the opportunity to take a unique National Trust for Scotland selfie.
Mark Bishop, director of customer and cause at the National Trust for Scotland, said: ‘We’re excited to get the people of Glencoe involved in our For the Love of Scotland campaign and hear what they love about Scotland.
‘Our members, donors, volunteers, visitors and staff help protect these special places for everyone to enjoy and our new campaign will help us shout louder about the important role we play in caring for Scotland now and forever.’
No booking is necessary and everyone taking part will be given an extra-special National Trust for Scotland momento.
