National Trust for Scotland
A place for everyone
The National Trust for Scotland is an independent charity set up in 1931 for the preservation and conservation of natural and human heritage that is significant to Scotland and the world.
The Trust has gone on to become Scotland's largest membership organisation and a leader in conserving and promoting the nation's treasured places and collections so that they can be enjoyed by present and future generations.
The properties they care for straddle a timeframe that stretches from the earliest geological processes to the Mesolithic and on into the 20th century. They have a presence in every corner of Scotland; from the most northerly tip of Shetland to the south coast of Dumfries and Galloway; from the eastern shore of the country at St Abb’s Head to the most westerly islands of St Kilda in the Atlantic Ocean, 64 kilometres from the nearest landfall.
National Trust for Scotland care for Black Hill in the Clyde and Avon Valley which is one of the best viewpoints over the area. It is the location of a prehistoric settlement and it is possible that people would have been living here as far back as 1000 BC.
