10am – 2pm

EVENT OVERVIEW

Hopetoun House is a historic country house in South Queensferry, owned and maintained since 1974 by the Hopetoun House Preservation Trust.

Often referred to as Scotland’s Finest Stately Home, it is one of the best examples of 18th century architecture in Britain. Its magnificent interiors have remained virtually unchanged for three centuries and reflect the elegance of the Georgian era: the house is decorated with the best period furniture, paintings, tapestries and clocks, with beautifully crafted finishes of carving, gilding and plaster work.

Our visit will include a guided tour, after which we will hopefully enjoy a picnic outside in the grounds.

Please bring a packed lunch with you on the day.

ABOUT Still Caring

As part of its Still Caring programme, Care for Carers runs a free series of events throughout the year, giving carers a short break from their caring roles and the opportunity to enjoy the company of other carers.

During these events we explore the cultural, artistic and natural aspects of life in and around Edinburgh.

Occasionally an event is open to both the carer and the caredfor person to come together; these are always clearly indicated. Minibus transport is usually provided for events further afield. Please note that some events may have limited availability.

Further details on the Still Caring programme can be found here.
