    THE RS MUSEUM OUTREACH EXHIBITION

    The RS Museum Outreach exhibition at Tynecastle has three more days to run, i.e Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 1000 – 1630 daily.

    Come along and see this excellent exhibition with McCrae’s Battalion and the Hearts / 16 RS relationship at the centre of it, and also featuring RS sport.

    We’re averaging 100 visitors per day, all of whom have been highly complimentary thus far, with opportunity also to view the Hearts FC Museum – and there’s a cafe with teas, coffees and pies!

      I was at the exhibition today and was impressed by the hard work that has gone in to this, by everyone involved. It was lovely meeting Old Royals and the enthusiasm shown in getting the Regiment’s story was wonderful to see and hear.

      Well done all

      Up the Royals!

      All are welcome on Sunday 7th July at St Cuthbert’s and by the Usher Hall because it chimes with the RS Outreach Act of Remembrance in the Scottish National War Memorial on 1st July that coincided with the Pilgrimage to Contalmaison and with the temporary RS Museum Exhibition at Tynecastle that opened today and runs until 1600 Wednesday 10th July, celebrating Sir George McCrae’s 16 RS. Open daily 1000 – 1630. No need to book; just come along.
