A Culture Strategy for Scotland shows how important culture is to Scotland’s prosperity and sets the future direction for supporting culture in Scotland.
The national culture conversation
This is the first culture strategy for Scotland in more than a decade. The strategy draws on the themes raised by the many people across Scotland who took part in our national culture conversation which began in 2017 and led to a public consultation in 2018[1]. It sets out a collaborative vision for culture and the guiding principles, ambitions and aims which will enable it to continue to flourish, evolve, and help to stimulate its transformational power across society.
A Culture Strategy for Scotland is an overarching strategy and sits in synergy with existing strategies for Scotland's historic environment, museums and galleries and libraries.
