The story of Scotland is told through its places, from remote Hebridean isles to Edinburgh’s elegant Charlotte Square. These places connect us to the past and provide inspiration for our future.
At NTSUSA, we are privileged to help the National Trust for Scotland care for many of Scotland’s most incredible places – the majestic landscapes, glorious gardens, and architectural treasures that tell the story of the natural forces and people who shaped this spectacular corner of our world.
For the Love of Scotland
What do you think of when you think of Scotland?
For some it’s the sweeping vistas of the Highlands or the fairy tale castles of Aberdeenshire. For others, the red squirrels in the Caledonian pine forest of Mar Lodge Estate or the puffins of St Kilda.
At The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA, we encourage Americans to connect with the things that make Scotland special – from grand cliff-side estates to the humble cottage where Robert Burns was born, from hidden archaeological sites to majestic landscapes – and to help the Trust ensure that Scottish heritage always has a home.
The best way for Americans to protect Scotland’s treasures is by making a tax-deductible donation to The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA. Your gift can be restricted to a favorite property or the Foundation can allocate it to wherever it is needed most.
Protecting the Beauty of Ben Lawers
Celebrating 75 Years of Ben Lawers
This year, the National Trust for Scotland celebrates 75 years of caring for Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve. With seven munros (mountains over 3,000 ft), a treasure trove of archaeological remains, and wildlife including majestic red deer, ptarmigan, and golden ringed dragonflies, this breathtaking landscape is a special place for nature lovers, adventurers, and history enthusiasts alike.
In recognition of this significant milestone, NTSUSA is raising $75,000 to help the Trust protect Ben Lawers for the next 75 years – and beyond! The Jeniam Foundation has pledged to match all gifts to Ben Lawers dollar-for-dollar up to a total of $30,000, doubling the impact of your gift!
Priority Projects
Every year, Americans like you help fund the essential work of the Trust by supporting a conservation priority, a favorite property, or an element of the Trust’s mission that captures personal interests and imagination. From vital structural repairs to monuments, castles, and houses, to the protection and rewilding of landscapes and habitats, to providing physical and virtual access to Scotland’s natural and cultural heritage – Scotland needs us now more than ever.
