The National Trust for Scotland is a different organisation than Historic Scotland. The National Trust is a charity that takes over historic buildings the owners of which can’t pay the upkeep for anymore, and makes them available to the public. Historic Scotland used to be a government agency that cared for and made publicly accessible historic buildings and estates that belonged to the Scottish state. However, Historic Scotland doesn’t exist anymore, it was consolidated into Historic Environment Scotland together with the
Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland.
