Welcome

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.

Buildings of every age, shape and function take part, from ancient forts to cutting-edge arts venues.  We have even had a crematorium, paddle steamer and cave in the programme!

There are also many different activities running.  Events include a bicycle tour, musical concert, canal trip, art exhibition, model aeroplane fly-by and storytelling.  You could be treated to demonstrations of everything from guide-dog training and star-gazing to archery and honey production.

If you would like to be kept up to date with news about Doors Open Days 2008 and beyond, please contact the Scottish Civic Trust on dod@scottishcivictrust.org.uk or phone 0141 221 1466. You can request information by email or post.
