Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (SHBT) is a charitable organisation founded in 1985 to preserve, for the benefit of Scotland, buildings of historical, architectural, constructional, national or local interest SHBT operates as a revolving fund building preservation trust (BPT) and considers projects throughout Scotland. As a revolving fund trust, any surplus generated by one project goes to help seed fund the next project. Generally projects are brought to us through our Trustees, the community, local planners or conservation officers or specialist interest groups who wish to save the building from dereliction or demolition. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Our main project is currently Greenlaw Town Hall - please help support this project by sending a donation, sponsoring a stone, or buying some merchandise (T Shirt, Cotton Shopper Bag, Bookmark, Postcards or Greenlaw Pen) - all proceeds go directly to the fund to Save Greenlaw Town Hall. We need to raise a further £1 million by November 2008 for the project to go ahead. To find out more about our merchandise and sponsoring - please press HERE.
