    Historic Environment Scotland’s Heritage & Place Programme (H&PP) is an area-based funding programme that aims to contribute to the development of vibrant and sustainable places in Scotland, through community-led regeneration of the historic environment. It supports the development and delivery of heritage focused schemes within conservation areas, or alternatively distinctive heritage areas with local authority recognition.

    Community participation is be integral to the design and delivery of the successful schemes your objectives should fit within the local authority's strategic framework for Place and Regeneration.

    To qualify for the H&PP, you will also need to demonstrate that your scheme meets the following criteria:

    • It will take place within a defined area of the historic environment with heritage significance which has local authority recognition
    • Its objectives fit within the local authority’s strategic framework for Place and Regeneration, with participation and support from the local community
    • There is demonstrable evidence provided to show the need for repair and regeneration in the defined area of the historic environment that will focus on its repair and resilience, traditional skills training and materials, community heritage engagement and future management and maintenance
    • There has been demand identified from within the local community for projects and activities to be undertaken as part of the scheme
    • A financial need for HES funding has been demonstrated and there is also the ability to attract local authority funding and other match funding
    • It will deliver against the HES Grants Priorities
