What the charity does
Working alongside City of Edinburgh Council and Historic Environment Scotland, we are charged with looking after Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our purpose is to ensure that World Heritage status is actively used to benefit everyone who lives in, works in or visits the city, while safeguarding the site’s outstanding universal value for future generations. The charity achieves this by providing funding and grants to support the repair and restoration of historic buildings and public spaces. As external experts, we offer both formal and informal advice to the City of Edinburgh Council…

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Edinburgh World Heritage is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
