Although there may not be Burnett Gatherings on the scale that there have been in the past, Burnetts are always welcome at Crathes and, if requested, we will endeavour to compile a programme of activities and events to accord with visitor interest. Details of what this might include are listed below. The programme can be enjoyed by visitors independently or we can arrange for the assistance of a guide.
For enquiries, please contact info@leysestate.co.uk
For visitors who wish to make their own arrangements, we hope that the information is useful.
Whilst much of what visitors wish to see relates to Burnett history, there has also been requests for recreational activities as are also described below. This allows to present a programme which meets the wishes of the whole family or group. There is no limit to group size, but clearly what we can provide must relate to numbers.
Arranging programmes is Vikki Duncan.
Vikki is an experienced fine and decorative arts curator who has worked across significant collections throughout her career, including those of national and international cultural importance. With a strong background in research, development and delivery of interpretation, published articles and adaptive audience specific talks and lectures, she has worked on collaborative projects in the arts arena. She has a particular interest in 17th century portraiture and textiles, which contrasts with her passion for Brutalism and contemporary jewellery.
Vikki is an excellent written and oral communicator; regularly delivering talks and lectures, keen to engage with, enthuse and inspire others.
