| The
National Trust for Scotland is the conservation charity that protects
and promotes Scotland's natural and cultural heritage for present
and future generations to enjoy. With over 297,000 members it
is the largest conservation charity in Scotland and it depends
for its support on donations, legacies, grants and membership
subscriptions.
Established in 1931, at the initiative of ruralScotland, the
Trust acts as guardian of the nation's magnificent heritage of
architectural, scenic and historic treasures. As an independent
charity, not a government department, it acts on behalf of everyone
to safeguard our heritage. Please support our work by visiting
our properties, becoming a member, making a donation or arranging
a legacy. By joining, you support the conservation of these fine
parts of Scottish heritage and there is the additional benefit
of free entry to all the properties. You can see the Trust's
constitution here.
The Trust is unique in that its activities cover the full range
of the cultural, built and natural heritage. Our challenge is
to make this heritage relevant to the people of Scotland and all
those who have an interest in Scotland's magnificent heritage.
