Not only has the historic National Trust for Scotland mansion had extra features added inside, its grounds are now the new home of the Angus Folk Museum. Major work was undertaken earlier this year to transform underused space in the house’s courtyard area into a permanent base for the museum. It was forced to close in 2014 due to rising repair costs. Now, around 400 items are on display, telling the story of 200 years of rural life in Angus. These were chosen from a vast collection amassed by Lady Maitland of Burnside in the first half of the 20th Century.
