Edinburgh World Heritage has launched its new
This new Neighbourhood Focus approach will target areas of the city that will benefit the most from out grants and advice. We will build on our previous area-based work, and will maximise the community and public value of what we do.
If you are a property or business owner in or around the Canongate, Cowgate, South Bridge, Lothian Road/Tollcross, or Forrest Road you may be eligible for grants for conservation work, maintenance and energy efficiency improvements.
ABOUT US
Edinburgh World Heritage is an independent charity that aims to ensure the city’s World Heritage status benefits everyone. We want to connect people to their heritage in everything we do – through the conservation of historic buildings, delivering improvements to public places, or engaging people directly through education.
