Scotland is full of surprises – whether you’re visiting for the first time, or holiday here every chance you get, you’re never far away from an exciting new discovery. In Scotland’s Year of Coasts & Waters 2021, Doors Open Days returns to give visitors the key to some the country’s best-kept locations, attractions and sites, offering access to places that are often closed to the public.
Organised by the Scottish Civic Trust, September’s weekends will see hundreds of architectural gems, fascinating museums, historic sites and other hidden treasures open their doors to the public on Saturdays and Sundays throughout throughout the month, with different regions revealing some of their finest buildings each weekend. You’ll also find expert tours, guided walks, exhibitions and other activities on offer, all completely free. Please note, booking in advance is recommended for many of the guided tours, and opening dates and times should be checked before you go.
