Today the Crieff & Strathearn Museum group became an affiliate of the Scottish Civic Trust. Which means we support their aims to: "Celebrate Scotland’s built environment, take action for its improvement and empower its communities".

Some may remember that the last time there was a Scottish Civic Trust society in Crieff it was in the 1990s. After a meeting in the Drummond Arms Hotel in May 1991, the Strathearn Society was set up by Micheil MacDonald, David Crosbie and about ten others from the area. However, pre-dating that was the Muthill Civic Trust, organised by Edith Jissel among others.

The above mentioned Strathearn Society is not to be confused with the original Strathearn Society of the 19th century which concerned itself with the breeding of livestock, information on which would be welcomed by the museum.

Today was a trip for volunteers and trustees to the Battle of Bannockburn Visitors' Centre and to the Engine Shed. Most had been before but this was to examine the space management and the way things work. As well as to engage in battle. If you have not been before, we recommend going:
