Giving in memory

We know that many happy memories are made and special moments are shared at the places in our charity’s care, and we are honoured that you wish to support the National Trust for Scotland in your loved one’s memory.

We are so grateful for every donation made to our charity. Donating to support our work in memory of a loved one is a meaningful way to remember them whilst enabling us to keep on protecting the treasured places in our care.

Your donation will be spent where the conservation need is greatest across the landscapes, buildings, collections and wildlife in our care. If you would like your donation to go to a specific area of our work, please email legacy@nts.org.uk or call 0131 458 0430 to discuss your wishes.

Memorial tree plantings

We know many people wish to celebrate the life of a loved one by supporting the planting of trees across Scotland.

Please visit our Dedicate a Tree page to find out more.

Please note that all tree plantings are carried out without a memorial plaque.

Memorial benches

If you are interested in arranging a bench in memory of a loved one, please contact us on legacy@nts.org.uk or 0131 458 0430 to discuss the options available.

Please note that we are only able to place benches at properties where additional benches are required and we are not able to place plaques, naming signs or engravings alongside our benches. This was a difficult decision for us to make, as we know how much plaques can mean to our supporters. However, due to the increase in requests for plaques, it has become necessary for us to restrict their use at our places. We do always strive to share the exact location of benches, so that supporters are able to easily visit the site and remember their loved one.
