The Buccleuch Living Heritage Trust was established in 2010 to support the advancement of historic, artistic, architectural and aesthetic education. It was created from two existing charities, established in the 1980s by the Buccleuch family: The Buccleuch Heritage Trust and The Living Landscape Trust. The result was a single charity that united land, art, history and buildings of huge historic importance, responsible for the world renowned Buccleuch Art Collection and several of the historic properties in which these items are housed.
