National Trust for Scotland is holding a 1940s day event at Linlithgow’s historic House of the Binns on Saturday, July 13

As the only National Trust for Scotland property still inhabited by the family who built it centuries ago, the House of the Binns stands as a living testament to Scotland's rich heritage.

Home to the illustrious Dalyell family for over 400 years, in 1944 Eleanor Dalyell made a historic decision, signing over the deeds of the Binns estate to the National Trust for Scotland.
