Seeds of Growth

The National Trust for Scotland, founded in 1931, is Scotland’s largest and most active conservation organization. Modeled after the 116 year-old Massachusetts-based Trustees of Reservations www.ttor.org, the oldest land preservation organization in the world, the National Trust for Scotland currently owns and manages 129 visitor properties on 200,000 acres of land. Holdings include islands, museums, sensitive ecological environments, country houses, castles, battlefields and coastlines. The U.S. Foundation, with a professional staff including development, communications, and marketing specialists, connects donors more closely to the work of the National Trust for Scotland and, often, to their Scottish heritage. Special events, including an annual gala in New York City, bring together board members and supporters from throughout the U.S. who know, love and support Scotland.

A Word from Our Executive Director

Speaking about the important work of the National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA, executive director Curt DiCamillo said, “Scotland has had a profound influence on the history of the United States where, today, millions of citizens proudly claim Scottish ancestry.   As the guardian of a large portion of Scotland’s historic, architectural and environmental heritage, the National Trust for Scotland relies on the generosity of Americans to preserve, conserve and protect the country’s great treasures. The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA is immensely proud of the millions of dollars it has raised for the Trust during the past 15 years and we look forward to increasing contributions significantly in the future.”
