Since 1994 we have awarded over £1billion of National Lottery and other funding to 5,100 projects in 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.

We’re proud to play a role in protecting and celebrating Scotland's vibrant cities, beautiful landscapes, historic sites and diverse cultures. It’s part of our vision for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future.

In addition to our English logos, you can use our Scots and Scottish Gaelic logos to acknowledge and celebrate our funding at historic sites, at events, in project materials and online. 

We’re excited to see projects using them and for Scots and Scottish Gaelic speaking communities to enjoy seeing their own languages on their local heritage.
