From Unst and Fair Isle to St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve, Grey Mare’s Tail and Threave Wildfowl Refuge, from the islands of St Kilda and Iona to the mountains of Glencoe, Ben Lawers and Mar Lodge Estate, we look after some of Scotland’s finest landscapes and wildlife.

Today we own 78,000 ha, including core landholdings at the heart of both of Scotland’s National Parks, seven National Nature Reserves, 27 sites designated as of European importance for nature conservation and 46 sites of national importance - a truly awesome responsibility, and one that we approach with increasing levels of professionalism.

To do this we employ some 80 countryside staff and involve around 500 volunteers. And probably in excess of one million visitors enjoy these treasures each year.

We hope you’ll enjoy finding out more about the Trust’s leading role in caring for Scotland’s countryside heritage:
