Historic Scotland has announced awards of more than £2.6 million for 12 projects around Scotland under its Building Repair Grants Scheme. The Scheme aims to help protect the nation’s architectural heritage.

In their different ways, each of the repairs to the different buildings are designed to benefit their communities, bringing economic, cultural and community benefits, ranging from training opportunities to jobs.

“These grant-aided projects truly reflect the breadth and depth of Scotland’s history and heritage, ranging from a rare rural house, an Art Deco pub, through to mills, community halls and castles,” said Linda Fabiani MSP, Minister for Europe, External Affairs and Culture.

In the last 15 years more than £150 million has been invested by Historic Scotland, securing the future of the country's historic environment.

The historic buildings awarded funding for repairs include a 1789 flax mill (Milladen Mill), a post-Reformation convent (Gillies Centre) and an Art Deco pub (Whitehouse).

The projects benefitting in this round of funding are:

Brough Lodge, Fetlar, Shetland Islands (£500,000)
Baltersan Castle, Kirkoswald, south Ayrshire (£492,406)
Gillies Centre, Whitehouse Loan, Edinburgh (£391,500)
