THe FHT looks after two buildings in the town - Nelson's Tower on Cluny Hill and the Tolbooth in the town centre. We rely on the kindness of our volunteers and we rely on donations to enable them to carry out works to make sure these buildings keep functioning and are an attractive tourist offering to visitors.

If you would like to help, you can make a donation via our JustGiving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/charity/forres-heritage

The Forres Heritage Trust promotes history and culture in Forres, and preserves historic structures and the landscape for future generations.
It is made up of a dedicated band of volunteers who give their time not only to work on preserving its historical landmarks, but to guide and educate visitors on the history of the town.
The trust looks after The Tolbooth, the town’s central landmark, and Nelson’s Tower, perched high on Cluny Hill with views over the surrounding area.
