HELD IN TRUST
Glasgow West And South West

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.

In the West of Scotland are spectacular sea views, unique gardens, the incredible Culzean Castle and the mighty city of Glasgow. Diana takes us from Burns night at the Bachelors' Club to the unparalleled views from Goatfell in Arran on this guide to Scotland's western riches.
