Welcome to the Scotland team.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The strain on Scotland’s heritage sector due to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is immense.

We are working as hard as we can, using all of our resources, to help our projects navigate their way through this operational crisis and recover in the future.

We are listening and we’re here to help.

Heritage Emergency Fund

We have a wide raft of support in place, including the Heritage Emergency Fund which has been designed to address immediate pressures. To find out more, please email or phone us, we’re at our virtual desks waiting to hear from you.

Contact us

We are fully operational and open for business, but we are conducting much of our day-to-day business remotely.

This means we are unable to access our post. In the interim, please send any items via email to your contact or via: scotlandcontact@heritagefund.org.uk.
