Historic Scotland - Historic Sundays

Historic Sundays is a new seasonal initiative which offers Scottish residents free admission to Historic Scotland properties on the first Sunday of each month, from October 2025 to March 2026.

The campaign aims to break down barriers to visiting, particularly for first-time visitors, lower-income households, and underrepresented groups. By removing admission charges on these special Sundays, Historic Scotland hopes to increase engagement with the historic environment, promote wellbeing, and offer memorable, affordable experiences throughout the winter months. If you or your team are working with someone who might benefit from this offer, let them know about it. Or visit yourself!

Book tickets here

Historic Sundays is bookable online only, and tickets must be booked in advance. Proof of address may be required on arrival.

If you don’t get tickets the first time of applying, more will be available next month. Keep an eye on the Historic Sundays webpage for participating sites and to book your Historic Sundays tickets.

January's Historic Sunday will be on Sunday 11 January 2026 rather than the first Sunday of the month which falls during the festive period.
