The story of Scotland is told through its places, from the wild peaks of Torridon to Edinburgh’s elegant Charlotte Square. These places connect us to the past and provide inspiration for our future.
At NTSUSA, we are privileged to help the National Trust for Scotland care for many of Scotland’s most incredible places – the majestic landscapes, glorious gardens, and architectural treasures that tell the story of the natural forces and people who shaped this spectacular corner of our world.
But right now, many of the places we love are at risk – from the elements, from development, and from a devastating global coronavirus pandemic.
For the Love of Scotland
What do you think of when you think of Scotland?
For some it’s the sweeping vistas of the Highlands or the fairy tale castles of Aberdeenshire. For others, the red squirrels in the Caledonian pine forest of Mar Lodge Estate or the puffins of St Kilda.
At The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA, we encourage Americans to connect with the things that make Scotland special – from grand cliff-side estates to the humble cottage where Robert Burns was born, from hidden archaeological sites to majestic landscapes – and to help the Trust ensure that Scottish heritage always has a home.
The best way for Americans to protect Scotland’s treasures is by making a tax-deductible donation to The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA. Your gift can be restricted to a favorite property or the Foundation can allocate it to wherever it is needed most.
Conserve Culloden Fund
Culloden Moor is a witness to history, a powerfully emotive place. But the field of battle and the views that surround it are increasingly under threat from development, and we must work harder each day to protect its powerful and authentic sense of place. Our heritage is under attack – and action is needed now to fight increasing commercial development around Culloden Moor. Will you join us in the fight for Culloden by making a gift to the Conserve Culloden Fund? Learn more about the campaign or follow the link below to donate.
