Falkland Palace And Garden

Charity registered in Scotland SC007410

We’re the largest member organisation in Scotland. As a conservation charity, we’re supported by more than 365,000 members and are funded largely by donations. 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. From coastlines to castles, art to architecture, wildlife to wilderness, we encourage people 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.
