The
Robert the Bruce
Commemoration Trust's long term aim is an
innovative, living history visitor centre in
Dumfriesshire dedicated to Scotland's hero king.
Why Dumfries? Simply because Bruce's quest for
the throne of Scotland started in the town with
the slaying of his cousin, John "The Red" Comyn,
Lord of Badenoch.That single act will provide
the centerpiece for the visitor attraction which
will give a deep insight into not only Bruce's
life story but life in general at the time.
www.brucetrust.co.uk The main
contribution of the Friends will be helping us
raise funds to ensure a centre is up and running
although we will welcome any suggestions and
help that is offered sincerely. If you would
like to become involved please contact the Trust
on
info@brucetrust.co.uk for

The archipelago
of St Kilda, the
remotest part of
the British
Isles, lies 41
miles (66
kilometres) west
of Benbecula in
Scotland's Outer
Hebrides. Its
islands with
their
exceptional
cliffs and sea
stacs, form the
most important
seabird breeding
station in
north-west
Europe. The
evacuation of
its native
population in
1930 brought to
a close an
extraordinary
story of
survival. This
site tells that
story and also
explains
activities
taking place
today in this
special place.
