DC Research is working with the Battle of Prestonpans (1745) Heritage Trust, carrying out an External Audit of the Trust’s activities.

The aim of the Audit is to critically examine the Trust’s delivery since its foundation in 2006 in terms of the Objects of the Trust. This will include identifying what has been achieved by the Trust, how well it has operated, as well as gathering views about what the future priorities and activities of the Trust should be, helping the Trust to take its work forward during the next 10 years.

DC Research Ltd. has been commissioned by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) to carry out a study into the economic impact and contribution of Urquhart Castle to the local area and economy surrounding the castle. HES is seeking to establish the current economic footprint of the castle to act as a baseline to inform future opportunities which benefit the local economy. The study will include a survey of visitors to the castle, as well as a survey of local businesses to gather their perspectives on the contribution of the castle to the local economy.
