Happy birthday to architect Robert Adam born on the 3 July 1728 in Kirkcaldy.
We had a brilliant day at The Georgian House.
#fortheloveofscotland #ArmedForcesDay
Today is Armed Forces Day.
A day to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces Community.
A parade of serving personnel and veterens set off from Charlotte Square, making it's way along George Street and finishing with a celebration in St Andrew's Square.
... Our Staff, Volunteers and Visitors really enjoyed watching the parade and talking to those taking part before they set off.

Tonight on Channel 5 saw a return of the Tv Series Secrets of The National Trust.
In January we were really lucky to send our Visitor Services Assistant (Conservation) Vicky to The National Trust Housekeeping Study days. An introduction to conservation cleaning, planning and monitoring.
Tonight’s episode features ErddigNT a National Trust property on the outskirts of Wrexham, Wales. During the Study days, Vicky made lot’s of connections including with Sadie a Conservation Assistant from Erddig and they continue to be in contact helping each other in all aspects of Housekeeping and Collections Care.
#DYK on this day in 1566, Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to her only child, here at Edinburgh Castle.
He became James VI of Scotland and James I of England & Ireland.

We absolutely love these photos..... looks like you had a great visit!
We are heartbroken to hear about the fire affecting The Glasgow School of Art
When you work in Heritage one of your biggest fears is the catastrophic damage caused by fire.
Our thoughts are with the staff and students, and all who worked in the Mackintosh building's restoration. 💔
Looks like your having a great visit!
The 21st of June every year marks the Summer Solstice, when the sun stays in the sky longer than any other day. For 17hrs 24 mins, to be exact. With the day breaking at 04:26am and lasting until 10:02pm, just imagine all of the things you could see and do.

A great talking point at The Georgian House is our medicine chest
The medicine chest or travelling dispensary is by Messrs James Robertson and Co of George Street in 1830. It retains 22 out of its 29 original bottles. Some of the contents we would recognise today – for example, Epsom salts and peppermint oil.
The lady of the house kept the key and treated the family. Alongside the medicine chest should be William Buchan’s book on “Domestic Medicine” (1772) – it is in the P...arlour bookcase.

Fantastically knowledgeable staff, great items on display, phenomenal idea for a museum...truly truly fascinating! Don’t miss!!! (And make sure to watch the video upstairs: it colors the rest of your experience).
Fab tour today, my daughters and I loved it. The characters were great and brought Hogmanay 1815 to life. Well done �
All staff are very nice. A lot of stunning historical things.
A wonderful historic property to visit! Highly recommended!
