Apparently, this was nothing to do with the current filming at Scotney, just a good old natural phenomenon. Stunning! Thank you to Richard Newman for sharing. National Trust South East #NorthernLights #Auroraborealis

See behind-the-scenes at Scotney tonight (24 May), BBC2 9pm. The castle features in episode 3 of the very excellent new series of 'Hidden Treasures of the National Trust'. (Or catch it on iPlayer. But we think you need a really, really good excuse to miss it.) National Trust South East

A perk of being a Scotney #volunteer is seeing behind-the-scenes. Today our house volunteers explored items from our hidden collection like photos, toys, jewellery. And these. Books filled but not redeemed. Maybe not quite enough for that steam iron? National Trust South East #VolunteersWeek

This 'vote now' ad is circulating now but voting in the National Trust AGM doesn't open for 10 weeks. It's from the private company RT2021Ltd/Restore Trust. The building seems to be Syon House, which is not a National Trust place, and belongs to the Duke of Northumberland.

These cards are being handed out at National Trust properties on behalf of the private company RT2021Ltd that trades as Restore Trust and also campaigns as Respect Britain's Heritage. The National Trust will use every penny of the £66m insurance and much more at Clandon Park.
