Our aims and vision
The City of Stirling has an exceptionally rich heritage of buildings, spaces, gardens, landscapes and archaeology. This heritage resource is not evenly spread, with higher value elements being concentrated within the historic core of the city. There is scope to widen the understanding and appeal of all heritage areas and items in the city.
Stirling City Heritage Trust aims to build on previous successful heritage initiatives in the city. Stirling benefits from a number of organisations committed to its heritage and the Trust aims to work with and aid in their development. Improved joined-up working will maximise the benefits for the environment and the local community.
The Trust wishes to inspire the communities, organisations and businesses within the City to appreciate and take pride in the heritage around them and to stimulate debate on how it should be passed on to future generations.
A Vision for the City of Stirling's Historic Environment
The Trust's vision for the City's historic environment is that this rich resource can be:
- better and more widely understood
- appropriately conserved and enhanced for future generations
- capable of providing a vibrant context for modern day activity
- a catalyst for environmental, cultural, economic, and social change for the better
