Realising the True Impact of Museums & Art Galleries in Scottish Tourism

This comprehensive research project was undertaken on behalf of the Scottish Museums Council to inform the Scottish Executive’s Cultural Commission’s report ‘Our Next Major Enterprise’ report which was published in June 2005 (See section 16.15.2 sub-heading Marketing, promotion and links to tourism on  http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2005/09/0191729/18061)

The impact study examined the contribution museums and galleries make to the tourism and the cultural infrastructure of Scotland.  The project presented, in some detail, a critique of the definition of cultural heritage. The summary and full report are published online on http://www.scottishmuseums.org.uk
