THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROTECTION

OF RURAL SCOTLAND

Background

Formed in 1926, the Association for the Protection of Rural Scotland (APRS) works to protect Scotland's world renowned landscape and the amenity of the countryside. It is Scotland's longest established independent environmental organisation, and a forerunner of the National Trust for Scotland. It has been raising awareness of Scotland's unique landscapes for over 80 years.

As an independent charity, we welcome as members all who share what we care about - Scotland's varied scenery and rural environment which is a priceless asset for the health, prosperity and well-being of present and future generations. We strive to be an authoritative voice which makes good things happen in rural Scotland and combats threats to damage it.

APRS is a voluntary organisation which relies heavily upon a part-time Director, a part-time Administrator and volunteers to do its work. With a small office in Edinburgh it has members throughout Scotland and beyond. It is funded by membership subscriptions, donations and grants from charitable foundations.

I'm seeking charitable donations of pipes and other musical instruments in playable condition. These donations will benefit students at Wyoming Catholic College, the State of Wyoming's only four-year liberal arts college now entering its fourth academic year. Many of our students have an intense interest in traditional Celtic music, and are doing remarkable things with a couple of battered guitars, a few pennywhistles, and a drum; however, because we are such a new institution we lack discretionary funds to purchase other instruments for them. If you have playable pipes gathering dust and would like to send them to a good home where they will help introduce young people to Scottish music performance, please contact me, Dr. Nancy E. Llewellyn, at nancy.llewellyn@wyomingcatholiccollege.com. You can count on receiving our eternal gratitude plus a letter you can use for tax-deduction purposes. Thank you!
