The Bruce Trust is about to embark on its biggest challenge so far.
Over the next few weeks the registered charity will hammer out its communal vision for an educational/visitor centre dedicated to the life and times of Scotland's hero king. It's a massive challenge for a small group of unpaid volunteers who have already put together a comprehensive website on the Bruce; created a highly acclaimed re-enactment on the 700th anniversary of the history making murder of the Red Comyn in the Greyfriars Kirk in Dumfries; and will shortly be unveiling a trio of Bruce trails charting his connections with south west Scotland.

But the biggest challenge of all will be raising the funds to create a centre worthy of the memory of the Bruce. To do so the Trust needs help, a great deal of help.

That's where those with a common interest in the Bruce and his massive contribution to the formation of the United Kingdom as we know it today, can come in. We hope to establish a number Friends of the Bruce Trust organisations, hopefully, not just in Dumfries but all around the world. We know from those who have contacted our website that there is a massive interest all over the globe.

The main contribution of the Friends will be helping us raise funds to ensure a centre is up and running although we will welcome any suggestions and help that is offered sincerely. If you would like to become involved please contact the Trust on info@brucetrust.co.uk for more information.
