Governance
The Trust was originally constituted on 4th May 1988 as a charity, registered in Scotland (no. SC 019966).
The committee meets monthly in the Forth Bridge Heritage Centre at the Railway Station.
Here is the updated Constitution as of May 2023
Objectives
To stimulate public interest in and to care for the beauty, heritage, and character of North Queensferry and the immediate surroundings.
To encourage, preserve, develop and improve features of historic, architectural or environmental value.
To encourage a high standard of architecture and town & country planning.
Current Projects
The Trust organizes a number of exhibitions and events throughout the year to which both members and the public are invited. This also includes our annual village show which takes place in September. Check the events page for details. Unfortunately, currently with the CoVid-19 pandemic, we have not been able to organize events during 2020 and 2021, apart from the annual Art Competition for the North Queensferry Primary School. Their wonderful artwork was on show earlier this year in the Gallery. Currently on show is our unique Steaming Forth exhibition of photographs by the late Trustee, John Clemmens. Interesting to note, that the Gallery at the station was the original Ladies Waiting Room for the station in 1890.
The Trust is actively planning events for 2022.
Village Life Project
It was proposed at the start of this millennium that the Trust should undertake a project to record village life and property by way of photography, film, or recordings. At this stage in the discussions, if anyone has any material by way of artifacts or old photographs which might be suitable please contact us.
