WelcomeScotland has shown itself to be a

powerhouse of creativity across

the ages, punching well above its

weight in the fields of architecture,

design and invention. The Festival of Architecture offers

an exceptional opportunity to interest and involve people

and communities all around Scotland and to display

what our exceptional built environment has to offer

to the world. This ambitious, nation-wide programme

of activities will enable people at home and visitors to

Scotland to immerse themselves in the wealth of our

architectural heritage, to discover hidden gems and to

interact with the Festival in very many creative ways.

The celebration of our nation’s architecture is an

important part of government’s responsibility for the

promotion of culture and we are pleased to support The

Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS)

during its centenary year, along with the wide range of

partner organisations contributing to the Festival.

The Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design 2016

is timed to coincide with the Festival. The themed year

is a celebration of Scotland’s beautiful built heritage,

culture and environment, alongside the contemporary

and cutting-edge designs of today. The Festival forms

a key part of this year, highlighting the many ways in

which architecture enriches our lives. Importantly, the

Festival will interest and involve young and old and will

leave a legacy of tools and resources for communities,

exemplifying the shared aims of the RIAS and our

national policy on architecture and place.

Fiona Hyslop MSP

Cabinet Secretary for Culture,

Europe and External Affairs
