“A Marvelous Catch:”
A Love Story Between Scotland and America
—————————————————————————————————————————————
Monday, June 29 | 12:00 PM EST / 5:00 PM UK Time
|
As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, join NTSUSA Executive Director, Kristin Gamble Bridier, for a
special talk exploring the American stories woven into the National Trust of Scotland properties.
In “A Marvelous Catch:” The Love Story Between Scotland and America, Kristin will look at the enduring connections
between Scotland and the United States through the stories preserved at Trust places — from
Culzean Castle’s connection to Dwight D. Eisenhower to the love stories at heart of Fyvie Castle and Canna House.
Together, these stories reveal how Scotland’s historic places are not only central to Scottish heritage,
but also part of a wider transatlantic story shaped by friendship, memory, generosity, and shared cultural ties.
|
| We hope you’ll join us for this special program celebrating the history and heartfelt ties between Scotland and America. |
