About Edinburgh World Heritage
Edinburgh World Heritage is an independent charity dedicated to ensuring that our World Heritage status is a dynamic
force that benefits everyone – those who live, work or study in the city, and those who visit.
Edinburgh is a unique place – steeped in history, with iconic topography and stunning historic buildings and public
spaces. The ‘Old and New Towns of Edinburgh’ was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995.
Our mission is to connect people to their heritage. We work in partnership with Historic Environment Scotland and the
City of Edinburgh Council to ensure that the management and conservation of the WHS preserves it for future
generations to enjoy.
We do this through distributing grants and working with partners to deliver active conservation of historic
buildings, conservation and creative interpretation of historic public spaces, developing solutions and guidance
through our new climate emergency programme and engaging people directly with the rich heritage of their
city.
