Operations:

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

From its very beginnings, Mellerstain has been steeped in art and architecture and the young George Baillie was clearly a visionary of his time when he commissioned Robert Adam to design the house that we know today. The family continue to champion this love of the arts by introducing Mellerstain as the home of the Borders Sculpture Park, a wonderful location and backdrop for exciting British artists to showcase their contemporary open-air sculptures to a new audience within the grounds.

No charity trustee information available
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.
