About this Event
Heritage Trust Network is bringing its conference to Scotland in 2024.
Conference is always the highlight of the year; a relaxed and friendly mix of inspirational speakers, lively discussions and fascinating tours and visits to historic sites and community projects locally.
Dunfermline has been chosen as the venue because of its fascinating mix of historic sites and the way local organisations are working together to make the most of its heritage assets following the granting of city status in 2022. The incredible philanthropic legacy of Andrew Carnegie is woven through the city’s cultural infrastructure. Network member, Fife Historic Buildings Trust, has recently been granted three-years of funding to help it develop restoration and re-use projects in Dunfermline.
Programme
The programme is currently being developed but here is an outline of what we have in mind…
Tours and visits which are likely to include Dunfermline Abbey and Palace, Dunfermline Carnegie Library and Galleries, Abbot House, Pittencrieff House, St Margaret’s Cave, Fire Station Creative. Further afield tours are likely to include the Scottish Lime Centre, Culross and Inverkeithing.
Full day conference at the art deco, Glen Pavilion in Pittencrieff Park. Speakers from major heritage organisations and community heritage projects in Scotland. Workshops focussing on building resilient organisations to deliver heritage regeneration to benefit local communities. Stalls from a range of heritage businesses and support organisations.
Conference Dinner (venue to tbc) is always a magnificent affair with some local entertainment guaranteed.
