We are a Charity. We receive generous and much needed support from the Scottish Government, its agencies and other partner organisations but we are absolutely dependant on the support of Members and visitors and the kind bequests and donations made by individuals.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial support for conservation projects throughout Scotland provided by our principal funding partners:
- The European Regional Development Fund
- The European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund
- The Heritage Lottery Fund
- The National Heritage Memorial Fund
- Historic Scotland
- Scottish Natural Heritage
Receipt of financial assistance from Local Authorities, Local Enterprise Companies and other companies, Trusts and individuals is also gratefully acknowledged.
