The National Trust for Scotland is the charity that cares for, shares and speaks up for Scotland's magnificent heritage. We're Scotland's largest membership organisation and we're independent of government. Since 1931, we've pioneered public access to and shared ownership of some of th emost magnificent buildings, collections and landscapes in Scotland. We care for ancient houses, battlefields, castles, mills, gardens, coastlies, islands, mountain ranges and the plants and animals that depend upon them. Together the places and objects in our care tell the stories of Scotland. Without our involvement, many of these places and things would have been lost forever to the passage of time, development and the elements.
Objectives: To promote the permanent preservation, for the benefit of the Nation, of Land and Buildings in Scotland (the expression 'Land' being held throughout these presents to include Lochs and Rivers) of natural beauty or historic interest. and as regards such Land, to preserve (so far as practicable) its natural aspect and features and animal and plant life.
