Scottish heritage nets funding boost
Scottish culture minister Michael Russell has announced that six heritage projects are to receive a share of more than £790,000 as part of Historic Scotland's Building Repairs Grants scheme.
The funding will be used to help restore and repair some of Scotland's most important historical buildings, with the largest grant of £500,000 awarded to The Pearce Institute, which forms part of the Govan Townscape Heritage Initiative in Glasgow. An oil storage tank that forms part of Scapa Flow Visitor Centre in Orkney has been awarded £116,000 for repairs to the metal structure, while Camperdown House in Dundee will receive nearly £150,000 to address water damage and the erosion of its roof.
Glenfinnan Station in the Highlands, Barony Chambers in Kirkintilloch, and the Former Servants' Hall in Melsetter, Orkney, are also set to benefit from the Historic Scotland initiative. Russell said: "In the current economic climate it is essential that we support projects that will make a real and visible difference to their communities and Scotland as a whole. It is important that when we invest money in our heritage we recognise the wealth of variety across Scotland."
