Tay Landscape Partnership

Tay Landscape Partnership logo

Tay Landscape Partnership (Tay LP) was an exciting four-year, £2.6 million Heritage Lottery Funded project celebrating the landscapes of where the Rivers Tay and Earn meet. Together with our partners the Perth & Kinross Heritage Trust, we delivered 29 projects that:

conserved, restored and improved access to a range of natural and historic features;
encouraged and supported a greater diversity and quantity of people to learn about and more actively participated in their landscape and its heritage;
provided training opportunities for people in local, traditional skills; and
link with broader public and private investment in Dundee, Perth and Fife, to support sustainable economic development.

The Tay Landscape Partnership project finished in October 2018.
