Russwood Visit

Our friends at Russwood have kindly invited EAA members for a visit to their Newtonmore headquarters on Friday 1 May. This will be combined with a trip to the Highland Folk Museum, also in Newtonmore. Thanks to support from EAA, ECAN and Russwood, tickets for members will be £15 and will include transportation as well as teas/coffees and lunch.

Members will meet at 15 Rutland Square at 6.45am on Friday 1st May, arriving at Russwood's Headquarters between 9.30am and 10am. Tea and coffee will be served before members are given a tour of the facilties followed by lunch. The day will conclude with a short visit to the Highland folk museum, a unique open-air museum which is home to over 35 carefully reconstructed historical buildings. The coach will then bring members back to Edinburgh for early evening.
