Dundee Heritage Trust's story
In the last year over 230,000 people visited the Trust’s venues. We are responsible for the conservation of RRS Discovery, one of the world’s most important ships. We offer high-quality learning activities to over 8,000 school children and 1,500 members of the local community every year, and communicate research on the collections through the exhibition and learning programmes. The purpose of Dundee Heritage Trust is ‘The guardianship, preservation, and portrayal of Dundee’s Heritage in ways that educate, inspire and enlighten current and future generations.’
In 2018, we were proud to receive our first Green Tourism award at Discovery Point, where we have now consistently achieved Silver for over half a decade.
In 2023, we want to go further than ever to put sustainability at the heart of what we do, and in the last six months, we have worked hard to create this – our first-ever Sustainability Strategy – to help guide us on the journey.
