This is the first culture strategy for Scotland in more than a decade.’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.

The strategy draws on the themes raised by the many people across Scotland who took part in the national culture conversation which began in 2017 and led to a public consultation in 2018. 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.
