What the charity does
The charity aims to further understanding and appreciation of the history, heritage, and culture of Scottish islands in their wider Celtic and Nordic contexts. We do this principally through publishing books (including in Gaelic and English) and arranging events (e.g. talks, conferences, boat trips, walks) on related topics. We are an inclusive membership organisation, welcoming participation from people of different backgrounds (e.g. academics, island communities, visitors, the Scottish island oversees Diaspora) to learn from each other and our various perspectives.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The Islands Book Trust 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
