Since its establishment in 1997, Fife Historic Buildings Trust (FHBT) has helped deliver over £60 million in historic environment regeneration projects across Fife.
Architectural Heritage Fund writes:
… Its successful track record of creating viable futures for heritage buildings and their communities helped secure the organisation a spot as one of 12 Heritage Development Trusts across the UK, which are supported by a strategic partnership between the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) and The National Lottery Heritage Fund….
Through its work as a Heritage Development Trust, FHBT is specifically focused on working with partners to identify and develop a pipeline of historic building regeneration projects in Dunfermline, which is both Scotland’s ancient capital and its eighth and newest city. Rich in history, culture and creativity, with an abundance of fascinating historic buildings and sites to offer, Dunfermline has seen a rapid expansion in its visitor economy since it was granted modern city status in 2022.
The AHF is delighted to announce that it has recently awarded new grants through the Heritage Development Trust programme to support the early stages of three distinct projects being undertaken by FHBT in the new City of Dunfermline. Located in close proximity to each other within the heart of the Heritage Quarter in the city centre, the proposed end uses for each of these projects will support ambitious plans to further expand Dunfermline’s growing visitor economy. The latest grant (for St Margaret’s House) was awarded at the AHF’s March Grants Panel, where, overall, seven awards were made to projects across the UK, totalling £446,375.
