Since 1931, our love for Scotland has fuelled our desire to protect the things that make it special. By championing Scotland’s natural, built and cultural heritage, we inspire those around us.
We are the largest membership organisation in Scotland; a conservation charity, supported by more than 365,000 members, and largely funded by donations.
From coastlines to castles, art to architecture, wildlife to wilderness, we encourage you to connect with the things that make Scotland unique while protecting them for future generations.
We do it so our heritage will always have a home. We do it so our countryside will remain unspoilt and accessible.
We do what we do… for the love of Scotland.
A holiday in Scotland offers the perfect opportunity to relax in some of the UK’s most spectacular scenery. With an abundance of fascinating heritage and culture, stunning coastlines teeming with wildlife and a wealth of activities to suit all tastes, you’re sure to find the perfect base to unwind and explore.
Our portfolio is as varied as the buildings and landscapes we protect. With an unparalleled collection of breath-taking country estates and lodges, majestic castles, stately homes and internationally acclaimed gardens, you’re sure to find the perfect backdrop for your next self-catering holiday.
Our accommodation includes grand houses and apartments, ideal for larger parties, cosy coastal cottages and countryside retreats, suitable for all the family, including your four-legged companions.
Wherever you choose for your next adventure, a warm Scottish welcome awaits!
