Historic Sundays is back giving everyone living in Scotland free access to our sites on the first Sunday of every month from October 2025 to March 2026.
We want everyone to enjoy a great day out at our sites, because we believe history belongs to us all!

Join us on the first Sunday of every month*, until March 2026, and get free entry to sites near you.
This offer is online only, and tickets must be booked in advance. Proof of address may be required on arrival.
