02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust (PKHT) was established in 1988 with the aim of conserving, enhancing and promoting the archaeological and architectural heritage of Perth and Kinross. Founded by The Gannochy Trust, Perth & Kinross Council, and Perth Civic Trust, PKHT continues to be supported by The Gannochy Trust and Perth & Kinross Council, levering additional funding from other sources for specific projects. Since 2012, a core part of our operations is through Historic Environment Scotland’s ongoing support of the Perth City Heritage Fund. The Trust achieves its objectives through the delivery of the provision of grant aid, projects, consultancy work, and a range of outreach activities.
