HRH The Princess Royal became the patron of Scotland’s Churches Scheme, one of our two parent charities, in 2003, taking up the role previously occupied by Her Late Majesty the Queen Mother, who had been the Patron of the Scheme since 1995.

In addition to joining us at our biennial “Gathering” events, to meet representatives of our member churches and the “Friends” of our Trust, she has also very kindly provided the prefaces to several of our regional church guides and she meets with the chair of our trustees from time to time to discuss our work and the current goings-on within Scotland’s ecclesiastical built heritage.

We are grateful to Her Royal Highness for her continuing support and commitment to our Trust and our various activities safeguarding, championing and promoting Scotland’s magnificent ecclesiastical built heritage.
