Scotland’s Natural & Cultural Heritage Fund (NCHF) has awarded a share of £22m (US$27m, €25m) to more than a dozen tourist attractions in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, as part of a new scheme to promote tourism in the area.
Led by NatureScot with support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the funding aims to support projects that encourage visitors to experience the Highlands and Islands’ “unique nature and culture.”
Among the attractions awarded are the visitor centres at Corrieshalloch Gorge and Dundreggan and a VR tour of archaeologically-significant sites along the Hebridean Walking Route.
“The NCHF programme has been a resounding success,” said Eileen Stuart, deputy director at NatureScot.
“With its breathtaking scenery, the Highlands and Islands have always drawn people from far and wide, and there projects open the window even wider to the area’s fascinating nature, culture and history.”
