Welcome to Doors Open Days!

Doors Open Days give you free access to hundreds of fascinating buildings across Scotland. Every weekend in September you can explore places that are normally closed to the public. Some open up once a year, some just once in a lifetime. This is your chance to discover the heritage on your doorstep or explore a new part of the country.

Every year we like to offer our lovely visitors the chance to win something a bit out of the ordinary.  It could be a gorgeous coffee table style architecture book, some special tickets to booked out events or a prize to help you make the most of Scotland's architecture and landscape.
