Who Owns the Tarbat Discovery Centre?
The museum premises, the old parish church of St. Colman, belongs to Tarbat Historic Trust. This is a company, limited by guarantee (No SC163073), and a registered Scottish Charity (No 024422), that was set up to administer and run the centre for the local community and its many visitors. Tarbat Historic Trust has a board of directors, who are responsible for the management of the company and is supported very strongly by a local force of Volunteers.
Tarbat Historic Trust is fully committed to ensuring its employees are paid at least the real Living Wage and wherever possible our contractors also do the same. Our Fair Work First Policy is available here: Fair Work Policy 2025.
