A gift for nature-lovers: dedicate a tree

Over the next few years, the Trust will be replanting the many tens of thousands of trees lost to winter storms across Scotland. This Mother’s Day, dedicate a tree to your loved one and we’ll send a personalised certificate for you to gift to them.

Your gift will help us restore our damaged forests and restore Scotland’s beautiful green spaces, so that natural ecosystems can continue to thrive into the future.

Every donation helps us plant another tree in one of the many woodlands we’re restoring across Scotland. Just £7.50 will help us plant one sapling – £75 will help us plant ten!

A gift for remembering someone special: dedicate a view

We know that for many, Mother’s Day can be a day spent remembering someone special. At the National Trust for Scotland, we are custodians of all the treasured places in our care. By dedicating a view in memory of your loved one, you will make them a custodian of our places too. With six stunning views to choose from, you can dedicate a view at the place that they loved most or the place that carries the most meaning for you.

Every dedication made in memory of your loved one will help us to keep on caring for the wild landscapes, peaceful gardens and historic buildings in our charity’s care for generations to come.
