Our Trust

Support for Arts, Heritage, Culture, and Science in Scotland

The Dr William Baird Ross Trust is a charitable organisation dedicated to advancing the arts, heritage, culture, and science in Scotland. Established in 1966, we award a prize every three years for exceptional compositions of church music. This initiative aims to inspire and support organists and church musicians throughout Scotland.

Operating primarily in Midlothian, our trust seeks to benefit the wider community, ensuring the continued growth and appreciation of cultural contributions in Scotland.
