| Castles of Scotland Preservation
Trust
he Trust was established
to promote and encourage the protection and preservation of Scotland's rich
architectural heritage and to restore or conserve where possible. Although
the Trust operates as a company, it is a charitable organisation registered
in Scotland whose directors and secretary give freely of their time and expertise
in the running of the Trust. Liberton Tower is the Trust's first completed
project. It has received great acclaim from many sources including the coveted
Europa Nostra Award.
The Trust is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. The
Directors, our Trustees and the Secretary provide their services to the trust
on a voluntary basis and receive no monetary reward, other than the knowledge
that our heritage is being preserved for future generations.
It has been found that by having a small but agile and capable body of
individuals a lot more can be achieved by keeping red tape to a minimum and
concentrating on the projects at hand.
The beginnings of the Trust
| When: |
The Trust was formed from the fortune and ashes of other preservation
projects. The resumes of our officials will elaborate on this in a
more personal level but all have been involved in the restoration of their
own projects before finally coming together to form the Castles of Scotland
Preservation Trust. |
| Where: |
Scotland is where the heart is, but there are other projects and contacts
being sought after worldwide. The Trust is currently in contact with
Poland and Slovenia and is eager to help other bodies with their conservation
plans. |
| Why: |
There are many other trusts who do a similar job. Why one more?
Why not. Not only is it a great accomplishment and a worthwhile
cause to look after one's own heritage, but it's fun..... |
