The Target for the Appeal
In summary, in order to purchase the Castle, to build the proposed extension to the Museum and make alterations to the internal layout of the Castle, and to provide an endowment fund to help sustain the project in the future, we need to raise from the Regiment's members, supporters and friends
£3,230,000
How You Can Help
In advance of the official launch of The Black Watch Heritage Appeal, which took place on 2nd September, we have been given a flying start with donations and pledges in excess of
£1,000,000
Any financial support that you can give to the Appeal will be extremely valuable in helping us reach our target.

The Black Watch Heritage Appeal is in aid of The Black Watch Museum Trust (Registered Scottish Charity No SC05848). All donations will be received into a restricted fund within this Trust, and will be used exclusively in pursuit of the aims of the appeal: the purchase of Balhousie Castle from the MoD; the establishment of an endowment to sustain the Museum in the long term; and the development of the Castle site by alterations and new build. In the event of the trustees at some time in the future deciding to wind up the Museum the funds will first be used to safeguard the artefacts and records and any residual funds will be passed to relevant ex-service charities.
