Scotland

Scotland's rich heritage varies from glorious landscapes, shorelines and islands to vibrant urban environments. It has a distinctive and diverse people, culture, and heritage with a history of inventors and innovators known across the world. Take a look at some of the projects in Scotland we have been proud to support.
Our Scots logo
We launched our Scots logo on 21 February 2022 for International Mother Language Day.
We are the first funder in Scotland to have a Scots language logo, which organisations can display on historic sites, at events, in project materials and online to acknowledge and celebrate our funding. It comes in addition to our Scottish Gaelic logo.
We’re excited to see projects begin to use it and for Scots speaking communities to enjoy seeing their own language on their local heritage.
Funding
If you have an idea for a project in Scotland, we would love to hear from you.

Visiting and access
If you wish to visit us in person, please email or call us in advance to book an appointment.
Please note that as the building is a Georgian design, the doorways, corridors and stairwells are narrow and not suitable for wheelchair users.
The entrance has one small step to navigate. The main entrance door is a period feature and is heavy to open. Once in the building, there are four steps to reception. The offices are on the 3rd floor and can all be reached via lift. There are no accessible toilets on site.
We can arrange to meet you at an accessible venue if required – just let us know when booking.
