Young people’s money can go further this year, thanks to an initiative between the National Trust for Scotland, Historic Environment Scotland and Historic Houses, which offers £1 entry to Young Scot National Entitlement Card (NEC) holders.
The initiative aims to engage young people with Scotland’s heritage and share the stories of these fascinating places with even more visitors, supporting the commitment by each of the partners to make historic places accessible to everyone.
At a time when the country is facing a cost-of-living crisis, the scheme will allow young people to experience the benefits of engaging with Scotland’s heritage, for minimal cost. As well as enjoying the health and wellbeing benefits of exploring the great outdoors and experiencing some stunning landscapes, we’re offering the opportunity to discover a new passion, through carefully designed gardens and curated collections within some of the country’s historic buildings.
With the free bus travel initiative also enabling those aged under 22 to travel across the country free of charge, there’s never been a better time for young people to get out and explore the many heritage sites Scotland has to offer.
