Chris Waddell works for the The National Trust for Scotland as Learning Manager at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, a post held since February 2013.
Chris has a strong interest in Scottish and rural history, Scots language and literature and the wonderful landscapes and wildlife of his native land. He considers himself to be a competent birdwatcher, a less than competent fly-fisherman and a long-standing fan of real ales. He is also a fan of Garage Punk, Mod and Psychedelia, but doesn’t really have the hair for it anymore.
He has a love of Robert Burns and a particular affinity for the Bachelors’ Club in Tarbolton. He attends the official Burns Supper there, where the committee find something not terribly taxing for him to do each year. He lives quite near Stewarton, but just far enough to make walking to the pub a nuisance.
