In exceptional cases the Trust may be able to provide assistance to public projects or Buildings at Risk which lie outside a conservation area but within the city boundary.

Depending on the nature of your project it may fall into one of the following grant schemes:

Grants for Building Repair

In 2009 - 2011 the emphasis of the Trust's conservation grant schemes will be to continue to assist with and encourage the appropriate repair of the City of Stirling's historic buildings focusing on those buildings where their repair will have the greatest impact on the environment within which they sit.

Traditional buildings, whether listed or unlisted are, in principle, eligible for grant assistance for a variety of repair and reinstatement works to the external fabric or structure of the building.  Works deemed to be maintenance are not eligible.

Grants For Public Heritage 

The Trust will continue to support the public and cultural heritage of Stirling.

  • Community Heritage & Environment Grant
