Provision of a Research and Interpretation Project - Industrial Heritage of the North Isles

Notice Description

The North Isles Landscape Partnership Scheme (NILPS) has funding to deliver a research and interpretation project focusing on the industrial heritage of the North Isles of Orkney.

Lot Information

Lot 1

NILPS is a 5-year, 4.5 GBP million project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Historic Environment Scotland, Orkney Island Council, Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The aim of the scheme is to promote the North Isles natural, built and cultural heritage, through providing funding for a range of physical improvements, conservation and landscape projects, training, interpretation and educational projects.

The sites included in interpretation may form a visitor trail of places to view across the isles.
