Clarsach competition - last chance to enter!
There's less than 2 weeks left to enter our Scottish harp competition, the Princess Margaret of the Isles Prize UK (deadline 30 April). Delighted that our lead judge is Gillian Fleetwood Music. We're taking the competition online this year and all clarsach players aged 18 and over can enter. The winner receives a cash prize and the chance to perform at next year's Edinburgh International Harp Festival.

We will paying our respects to His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh by joining the national one minute silence at 3pm today. The Clan Donald Lands Trust flag remains at half-mast as we reflect on the duke’s long life and service to the nation.

Remembering all those who lost their lives at the Battle of Culloden, which took place #onthisday in 1746. This 18th century print is from our museum collection. #culloden275 #culloden

Today's #Fridayflower: Fritillaria meleagris, or snake’s head fritillary. Always a delight to see these pretty chequered bells peeping through the grass. We have three so far, hoping for more soon! #springflowerfestival

It's been a glorious spring day here. Clear blue skies and the gardens alive with colour and birdsong. We can't wait to share this with you - 26 April is the day!
