CONTRIBUTING TO THE FUTURE OF SCOTLAND'S PAST

The income generated through the membership scheme is an important part of the £50 million spent by Historic Scotland each year to preserve, protect and present the Nation's built heritage. You can keep informed about our vital conservation work through the members' magazine and as part of the members' activity programme you will have the opportunity to see behind the scenes at some of these projects and meet the experts involved. Historic Scotland's historical and technical publications are also available to Friends at a 20% discount.
