Interpret Scotland

Interpret Scotland

Interpret Scotland is an inter-agency initiative between Scottish organisations concerned with heritage interpretation. It was begun in 1997 and its key aims are to :

* Improve the quality and quantity of interpretation in Scotland
* Promote the co-ordination of interpretation at local and strategic level
* Share resources, expertise and experience to avoid duplicating effort

The Interpret Scotland journal, which is published twice a year, has been running since 2000 and includes articles on all facets of interpretation. Interpret Scotland can be credited with raising awareness of professional heritage interpretation within Scotland, particularly through inter-agency support and networking.

Together with the Association for Heritage Interpretation, Interpret Scotland established a steering group which planned and carried out The Vital Spark Interpretation Conference.

List of members

The Interpret Scotland steering group has expanded over the years and currently consists of :-

* Association for Scottish Visitor Attractions
