National Trust for Scotland

The properties we care for straddle a timeframe stretching from the earliest geological processes to the Mesolithic and on to the 20th century eras of human existence: they encompass architectural wonders; coastlines, which along with 400 islands and islets, provide homes for over one million seabirds; 200,000 acres of countryside; 46 Munro mountains; 394 miles of mountain footpaths; 35 major gardens nourishing 13,500 plant varieties; 7 national nature reserves; 45 sites of special scientific interest; St Kilda, the UK's only dual World Heritage Site; works of fine art & more than 100,000 precious artefacts. Our places are part of Scotland's history and tell the story of us all: we conserve them for you to enjoy.
