The Scottish Redundant Churches Trust (SRCT) was established to secure the survival of outstanding churches threatened with closure.

Scotland has a unique and unparalleled ecclesiastical heritage with more than 3,500 churches of all denominations throughout Scotland, many of architectural or historical importance which represent the work of some of our finest architects and craftsmen. With falling congregations and changing social habits, many of these churches are under threat today as never before. Closure and conversion of these places of worship means the irretrievable loss of a priceless part of our heritage.

By acquiring these churches and by conserving them intact as historic buildings, the SRCT aims to preserve a valuable part of Scotland’s heritage for the future.
