What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The charity was set up to preserve the historic Dalgarven Mill complex which has been located on the site since the 14th century. The current main building a former grain mill dates back to 1880.The Trust was set up in 1987 following an extensive period of refurbishment. As part of the refurbishment plan it was decided that the Museum would be used to display and preserve the legacy of Ayrshire Country Life and to achieve this an extensive collection of Ayrshire farming and domestic memorabilia and artefacts has been accumulated and housed in the buildings. The working machinery of the Mill including the large external water wheel has also been fully preserved. A feature of the collection which has grown in quantity and stature over the years is the extensive costume collection with items featured from the 1700s through to the present day.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
