Scotland: National Trust needs "ambitious programme of change," review says
The organisation which oversees many of Scotland’s historic sites needs to ‘drive forward an ambitious programme of change’, a review has found.
Holyrood’s presiding officer George Reid identified the Trust has been heavily over-governed for far too long and its management has been held back due to a top-heavy structure.
As a solution he’s identified the Trust should slash trustee numbers from 87 to 15 and elect a new board.
The National Trust for Scotland plays a crucial role in protecting and promoting cultural heritage and oversees more than 100 sites, including Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire and Culloden Battlefield.
