Rothesay TH is part funded by the Scottish Government, The European Community ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and the Islands LEADER Programme 2014-2020, Historic Environment Scotland, Heritage Lottery Fund, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Smarter Choices Smarter Places, and ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥.
How much money is available?
The total grant fund available is just over £2million.
Further to the successful delivery of a Townscape Heritage Initiative between 2011 and 2016, ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ recognise the need for greater economic development and regeneration activities within Rothesay. Rothesay TH2 will complement the prior investment and link all of the regeneration activity within the town by investing in Victoria Street and Montague Street.

- Make an improved and lasting difference to the town centre
- Safeguard Rothesay's historic seafront buildings
- Encourage people to take an interest and get involved in their townscape cultural heritage
- Support economic and social enhancement
- Improve the long term approach to property maintenance
- Enhance skills in traditional building technique and use of materials
