Stirling Heritage Strategy

A Heritage Strategy for Stirling

Across Scotland, many organisations develop heritage strategies or plans to help them to protect, conserve and celebrate their historic environment. Stirling has a rich heritage across the whole Council area and Stirling Council has decided to develop a new Heritage Strategy.

Elected Members have agreed that this should be led by Stirling City Heritage Trust. This will be developed during 2024 and will involve a wide consultation of local, regional and national organisations as well as individuals and communities. The aim is that as many people as possible in the Stirling Council area contribute their views and help to shape the plan.


Stirling Heritage Strategy: Community Consultation

Stirling City Heritage Trust is developing a Heritage Strategy for Stirling and we would love to hear your views if you live or work in the Stirling area. The strategy is for the whole of the Stirling Council area and we would like as many people as possible from across the region to give us their views.

The Stirling Heritage Strategy will help to identify what aspects of Stirling’s heritage are a priority for people and will include an Action Plan to focus delivery of projects.

The initial Community Consultation is now closed.
