@theSRCT is now @HistChurchScot!
We have a new name but we continue working to save at-risk historic churches, transforming them for communities and working with local people to secure these wonderful buildings for everyone to visit, use and enjoy.

Our enormous thanks to the congregation of Garvald Parish Church on East Lothian who gave us permission to record the contents of their beautiful, but sadly closing, church today and to the hardy and fabulous band of volunteers who braved a somewhat chilly day to lend a hand!

Thought-provoking morning of excellent speakers at @FRH_Europe Masterclass exploring the future of churches in European cities.
Very interested to hear about Milanese aspiration to remake its closing churches into "Houses of the People." An interesting exemplar for Scotland?

'It’s estimated that around 400-700 churches will close across Scotland and be put up for sale, looking for a new use within the next few years.' > @GordonBarr on how we're helping to assist community and re-use schemes in Scotland and across the UK.
Churches! A huge number in Scotland are going to be looking for new owners & new uses in the coming few years.
So, what can you do – how could you try and stand out from the crowd if taking on your local church sounds like something you want to consider?
