Read All About It... St Ronan's set the Standard!

Smail's celebrates 25 years as a property of the National Trust for Scotland by producing a souvenir issue of the St Ronan's Standard and Effective Advertiser. It retains its original 4 page format and comprises a traditional front page full of adverts for local businesses, inside pages reproducing stories from one hundred years ago and reminiscences about the Smail's and the back page has been given over to Primary 4 at our local school for an edition of the St. Ronan's Reporter. This project has been made possible by sponsorship from the Edinburgh Members' Centre of the National Trust for Scotland and from the advertising revenue as well as the time, dedication and enthusiasm of staff and volunteers here at the works.

Well Done and Thank You!
