Kilmartin Glen is widely regarded as one of the most important archaeological landscapes in the UK. It contains one of the most significant concentrations of prehistoric monuments in Europe.

Kilmartin Museum Company Ltd is a registered charity operating an internationally important museum that interprets and preserves the landscape of the Glen. The £8m Redevelopment Project, completed in 2024, was one of the most ambitious cultural and heritage projects undertaken in Scotland in recent years.

As the Museum moves forward under its new Chief Executive, the Board of Trustees are seeking to appoint up to 3 new Trustees to support their plans.

The posts are non-remunerated.

To complement the skills of existing Trustees the new Trustees will need to be able to demonstrate experience in one or more of the following areas:
• Archaeology, curatorial or museum management
• Health and safety
• Financial management
• Legal
• Understanding of the Argyll economy and the challenges faced by local businesses.

Charity trustees have legal duties under the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 overseen by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) https://www.oscr.org.uk/managing-a-charity/managing-charity-trustees/inducting-and-managing-charity-trustees/understanding-charity-trustee-responsibilities-and-duties/.

If you wish to apply, please send a copy of your CV and a statement, detailing in no more than 500 words why you wish to become a Trustee of Kilmartin Museum, to admin@kilmartin.org. Applications should be received by 8am on 5 January 2027.

Trustees will be expected to attend a minimum of 4 meetings per year. All meetings are hybrid so can be in person or online.
