The National Trust for Scotland cares for 10,000 miles of Scottish coastline. That’s a distance stretching from Glasgow to Perth – Perth, Australia, that is!
Every day, the Trust undertakes critical conservation measures tailored to individual coastal habitats, from St Kilda to St Abb’s Head. This work is shaped by the twin realities of climate change and Brexit. Learn how Scotland’s leading conservation charity is protecting Scotland’s seas, demonstrating best practices in tourism management, and mitigating climate change – providing leadership on an international stage, all for the benefit of future generations of Scots.
