| Aims |
The Historic Houses Association is a national organisation which represents the interests of the privately-owned historic houses, castles and gardens throughout Britain. Of these, 240 are in Scotland, of which 42 open regularly to the public. (Compare this to 17 similar properties owned by the National Trust for Scotland and 20 by Historic Scotland) representing a substantial element of Scotland''s heritage tourist
attractions.
These include such well-known properties as Hopetoun, Traquair, Glamis and Dunvegan
and many smaller but equally important properties. Many of these houses are surrounded by gardens, some of national importance
and many of the houses contain outstanding art collections.
As well as welcoming day visitors, these
properties take part in a broad range of corporate, commercial and retail enterprises, making a substantial contribution to the
Scottish tourist industry.
HHA member properties are individualistic and are made more interesting
by being owned and lived in by the families who built them and have often contributed much to Scotland''s history. |
