Our aim is to raise £7000 this Christmas, to help us give, protect and grow our communities-, nature- and landscape-based projects in the Cairngorms National Park.

Eileen Budd will be sharing seasonal stories from Scottish folklore for families. Listen to tales of winter goddesses, witches, giants and other beasties.

There will be two sessions on the same day, one from 11:00 to 12:00 and one from 13:00 to 14:00. You are welcome to pick one of the times, or book both sessions, as Eileen will be telling different stories in each of them.

Please donate if you can. The Clan Macpherson Museum Trust is a registered charity and during these tough times, every penny supports the continued running of the museum and hosting of events, both, online and in-person.

Browse for Christmas presents and treats for yourself in a unique museum-setting.

Enjoy music, cake and hot drinks, have a chat and get into the Christmas mood!
