HLF in Scotland is supporting projects that create opportunities for volunteering, learning and celebrating our culture. The projects that we fund help to give people a sense of place and identity, igniting a passion for heritage, and regenerating communities.

Scotland’s heritage is a rich mix of stunning landscapes, historic buildings and unique collections and stories of our rural and industrial past.

We are keen to work with groups and organisations to develop projects that will give people a better opportunity to enjoy, learn about and look after their heritage.

We have identified a number of priority areas and groups that have benefitted less from our funding in the past. Our priority areas are listed in the green column to the right - select a link to find out what is going on in your area. We are also keen to hear from minority ethnic groups or organisations which support minority ethnic communities.

If you are developing a heritage project then contact us for pre-application advice. Talk to us - advice and support in Scotland has more information on the help you can get from the HLF team in Scotland.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Priority development areas

We have identified a number of priority development areas within Scotland. They will be the focus of additional targeted activity by our development staff who will be doing more to raise awareness about Heritage Lottery Fund programmes and supporting local organisations and groups in making applications for grants in these areas. Priority development areas will not receive automatic funding but our aim is to generate a greater number of good quality bids from these areas which will be able to compete with applications from other places.

A number of factors were taken into account in identifying the priority development areas including lower levels of HLF spend so far. The priority development areas in Scotland are listed in the right hand column.
