ATHOLL
COUNTRY LIFE MUSEUM - Trust Status |
Since 1st. December 2004 The Atholl Country
Life Museum has been run as a Scottish Charitable
Trust with the Charity Number SCO
35882.
Trustees :- Lydia Busby;
John Cameron; Robert Cameron; Margaret Cameron; Stewart
MacGlashan: Kirsty Cohen; Jane Scott; John Kerr; Elizabeth
MacRae; Dolina Maclennan; and Neil Mackintosh.
Secretary :- Lydia Busby
Treasurer :- Elizabeth MacRae
John Cameron runs the Museum on a day to
day basis.
Since opening in 1982 the Museum has brought together
an important collection of artifacts, photographs
and information all pertaining to life in the Atholl
glens over the past 200 years, a period of great change.
The aim of the Trust is to stimulate public
interest by using the Museum as a focal point of knowledge
and education in the history, heritage and culture
of Atholl, this unique area in the very heart of Scotland.
We are presently carrying out research work on the
Prisoner of War Camp which was at Pitagowan during
the Second World War. If anyone has any stories,
information or photographs relative to the Camp which
you would allow us to copy, we would be very pleased
to hear from you.
Trustees would be delighted to hear from anyone who
can provide assistance in staffing the museum, in
collection care and documentation or in the general
work involved. Now that the Museum is a charity, should
anyone be kind enough to make a financial donation
towards the upkeep, then tax can be reclaimed via
Gift Aid.
