Brilliant news for Save Bon Accord Baths and Aberdeen! 👏 It's wonderful to see such positive progress towards bringing this much-loved landmark back to life.

Bon Accord Heritage is delighted to have been successful in securing a £50,000 award from the Scottish Government's Just Transition Fund. This award will allow us to take a hugely significant step forward in our plans for the restoration of Bon Accord Baths by developing an energy strategy to make the reopened facility much more energy efficient, thus substantially reducing future running costs. Local companies and specialists in their field will complete the work by next spring. Alongside that work, part of the award will be used to develop a fundraising strategy to identify key funders for the development and delivery phases.

Thanks to everyone who supports the project and encourages us to keep doing what we're doing. 2026 has been an amazing year so far and 2027 is shaping up rather nicely too.
