I watched this interview & noted that Kate Mavor kept emphasising the number of new members joining on-line. Could that be as a result of this web-site? I thought the interviewer & Magnus Linklater were both too soft on her. I'd like to know the full justification for closing properties. It seems there was a partial answer in the interview but it was not followed up. The ones reprieved all appear to be in receipt of some sort of external funding. Also, what is going to be done with Hill of Tarvit & its contents? The members should be told. -

I joined NTS in 1974, when it was a campaigning, motivated, friendly organisation. By the 1990s we had begun to have serious concerns about the management of the Trust and its public face. In 2007, we attended an AGM, following which we resigned from the Trust. It had become obvious that a business model was being pursued similar to that of 'Reader's Digest' and the 'AA', which inevitably attracted and provided shelter for careerists, business politicians, cost accountants and performers, rather than doers. The actual doers were rapidly sidelined and encouraged to give their best behind the scenes, while the performers took centre stage and the credit. Until the available funding for this organisation can be re-directed away from the 'divas' to the few honest, knowledgeable, hard-working, motivated, underpaid and unrecognised staff who remain, I can see no viable future for the NTS.
