American donors are making it possible for the National Trust for Scotland to publish its unparalleled collection of Robert Burns manuscripts, objects, and ephemera online.

At The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA, our new (fiscal) year begins on July 1. We’re delighted to share some of the successes that American donors like you made possible in fiscal year 2023 – including more than $530,000 granted to the National Trust for Scotland for its most urgent conservation priorities. Thank you.
