HELD IN TRUST
Tayside, Edinburgh And The East

Amongst the many very special places 'Held In Trust' by the Nation Trust For Scotland are mountains and islands, gardens, gorges and waterfalls, castles, stately homes, follies and folk museums.

In this definitive series produced by STV and hosted by Diana Rigg, we visit many of the greatest properties owned and conserved by the Trust, who are dedicated to preserving Scotland's rich heritage for future generations.

Scotland's spectacular capital city is the starting point for this fascinating journey through the scenery and heritage of the East of Scotland. From the magnificently preserved Georgian House in Edinburgh to the Arctic flora in the snows of Ben Lawers, and from the fascinating Angus Folk Museum to the underwater marine reserve at St. Abbs Head, Diana Rigg gives us a unique and memorable view of Scotland's glorious past and spectacular present.
