Support from the Heritage Lottery Fund for The Patrick Geddes Centre for Learning and Conservation at Riddle's Court, Edinburgh
Our project to transform the 16th Century merchant’s house, Riddle’s Court, in Edinburgh’s Royal Mile into The Patrick Geddes Centre for Learning and Conservation has received a first round pass from the Heritage Lottery Fund. This indicates their initial support of £2.4million towards the project.
This support from the Heritage Lottery Fund marks a major funding milestone for the nearly £6million project and announces the start of a 2-year development phase, including a fundraising campaign for the project before it starts on site in 2013. Development funding has also been awarded which will help SHBT to develop their plans to apply for a full grant in 2013.
