Fife Historic Buildings Trust – Making Heritage Live.

Our mission is to create viable futures for heritage buildings and their communities by inspiring and enabling visionary conservation projects across Fife.

We have helped deliver over £40m in historic environment regeneration projects in Fife, supporting town centres, businesses, tourism and local communities.

Fife has a particularly rich and varied heritage with over 6,200 listed buildings and 48 conservation areas.  Fife Historic Buildings Trust was formed in 1997. The Trust is an independent Buildings Preservation Trust – it is a charity (SC026043), and a company limited by guarantee (SC173262).

What We Do

• We manage projects to conserve historic buildings at risk, ensuring that they have a renewed practical purpose, long term caring owners and a viable future.
• In our education and engagement programme we share and foster conservation practices and skills, as well as helping communities to appreciate their local heritage.
• We have a small portfolio of historic properties, which we actively maintain as workspaces and holiday lets.

We currently have three holiday apartments to let, these buildings have been restored by Fife Historic Buildings Trust and by staying in these apartments you will be helping to contribute to the upkeep of these and future projects: You can find more about the holiday apartments here.

Our continuing partnership with Fife Council underpins all of this. A Collaboration Agreement between Fife Council and FHBT our work to protect and enhance Fife’s historic environment, and highlighting our role as Fife Council’s heritage regeneration partner of choice.
