Scottish Heritage

The fascinating journey through Scottish heritage takes you through Neolithic, Viking and Roman times, power struggles between the clans, bloody battles against the English, the forced emigration of the Highland Clearances and the prosperous years of the Industrial Revolution where Scotland often led the way in innovative developments and progress.

Tours to Scottish heritage sites with expert guides whose captivating stories bring Scottish history to life are great value and the National Trust for Scotland’s Discover ticket offers discounted admission to over 90 historic sites.

Descendants of former emigrant families keen to trace their Scottish heritage often visit Scotland to uncover their roots and even casual visitors are impressed by the well preserved medieval castles, abbeys, ancient standing stones, battle sites and civic buildings that tell the rich story of Scottish heritage.
