Membership categories and prices
Whether it's solo travel, family outings or a whole lifetime of exploring, we have a membership to match your historic adventures.
Flexible and affordable
Our memberships are flexible and affordable, so you can choose the type that’s right for you.
Historic Scotland membership is a 12-month product. You can pay by credit/debit card, or by Direct Debit in 12 monthly instalments (this saves 10% on the card price). Direct Debit can only be set up with a UK bank account.
If you are visiting Scotland for a short time, consider our Explorer Pass.
