When will my new car parking sticker arrive?

New members will receive their car parking stickers in their welcome pack; renewing members will receive their new car parking stickers with their renewal letter.

What does membership give me access to?

With a National Trust for Scotland membership you have unlimited access to all the places in our care. You can also use your membership to explore places cared for by National Trust organisations around the world with the International National Trusts Organisation (INTO). This includes National Trust properties in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Italy, Ireland, Canada, Australia and more. Some restrictions do apply, so please check with the specific place before visiting to avoid disappointment. Learn more about what you can explore with your membership.

How do National Trust for Scotland members park at National Trust properties with parking charges?

The National Trust has started using barcodes on their cards to gain access and free parking at National Trust car parks in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. As a member of the National Trust for Scotland, your car sticker is still accepted and will grant free parking. In car parks that have attendants, members should show their card and display their sticker (or any ticket) you are given for free parking. Similarly, National Trust members can still request a car parking sticker from the National Trust should they wish to visit Scotland and use our free parking benefit.

We are in communication with the National Trust about this and have been assured that any National Trust for Scotland member will continue to receive free car parking in all National Trust car parks.

If I’m a member, can I visit Trust places without my membership card?

You may be asked to pay an admission fee if you visit without your membership card. Please remember to bring your membership card or temporary membership card with you every time you visit.
