perth and kinross heritage trust
Perth,
Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust (PKHT) is a registered Scottish Charity that
has been established since 1988. Our Vision A Perth and Kinross that values,
embraces and enhances the economic, social and environmental benefits of its
historic environment We realise this vision through the development and delivery
of projects, the administration of grants, the provision of information and
advice, and a programme of outreach, learning and training activities. Working
independently and collaboratively to preserve, enhance and increase
understanding of Perth and Kinross’s historic environment Since 1988 the Trust
has been achieving a wide remit encompassing historic building conservation,
archaeology, access to the historic environment and interpretation. Supported by
Heritage Lottery Fund Transition funding, the Trust began an organisational
review in 2016 which culminated in our 2017-22 strategic plan. This document
sets out our vision, values and priorities and has recently been updated with a
Covid-19 response statement for 2021-22 and a further strategic plan for the
2023-2027 period. Our emphasis has always been, and continues to be, on a high
quality approach, bringing economic, social and educational benefit while
securing a future for Perth and Kinross’s historic environment. We realise our
vision, mission and objectives through the development and delivery of projects,
the administration of grants, the provision of information and advice, and a
programme of outreach, learning and training activities. Conserving our shared
cultural heritage is important for many reasons: maintaining ‘sense of place’,
providing a resource for learning and education for local communities, and as a
driver for sustainable economic development through events and destinations for
visitors and tourists. We believe the rich physical heritage of Perth and
Kinross, in the form of archaeological remains and historic buildings and
landscapes, should be enjoyed by everyone, and we aim to facilitate this through
our projects and outreach events. We are committed to developing and delivering
activities and projects that increase awareness, understanding and appreciation
of the historic environment. Supported by a range of funders, our outreach,
learning and participation activities are often delivered as a core part of
larger funded projects such as the King’s Seat Hillfort Archaeology Project.
Outside of these projects, we also co-ordinate annual feature event programmes
such as Doors Open Days. Please explore our website to find out more about what
we do and why we do it. PKHT is a Scottish Charity (SC003139) and a company,
