Scotland's Cultural Heritage is exceptionally rich and diverse - from prehistoric standing stones, to medieval townships; graveyards and memorials to post medieval industrial buildings and to WW2 defence features. The best known of these sites are protected and cared for by organisations such as Historic Scotland, National Trust for Scotland, Forestry Commission Scotland, Local Authority’s and land owners, but this stewardship only extend to a small percentage of Scotland’s Cultural Heritage. Many other sites need urgent care and attention to ensure that they survive for future generations to enjoy and ‘Adopting’ such monuments is a great way to start. 

Adopt-a-Monument is here to help you get involved with your local heritage. While we do have limited spaces on the scheme, we want to hear from anyone who would like play a leading role in conserving a monument that they feel passionate about.
