Gift Aid It
What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that allows charities such as us, The Black Watch Regimental Trust to reclaim tax on donations made by UK taxpayers. This means that for every pound you donate, we can claim an additional 25p from HM Revenue & Customs, at no extra cost to you.
How You Can Gift Aid
When you purchase a Standard Admission ticket and a Guided Tour ticket or donate to The Black Watch Regimental Trust, you have the opportunity to make your donation go even further through Gift Aid. Here’s how:
Standard Admission Ticket:
By purchasing a Standard Admission Ticket, you not only gain entry to our museum and exhibits but also the opportunity to support our mission through Gift Aid. When you buy your ticket, simply let our staff know that you’re a UK taxpayer and would like to Gift Aid your donation. This small action ensures that your contribution makes an even bigger impact in helping us continue to provide essential welfare services and keep the proud legacy of The Black Watch alive for future generations.
Guided Tour
If you opt for a Guided Tour Ticket during your visit, the same Gift Aid option applies. Enjoy a detailed and in-depth one hour tour led by our knowledgeable guides while knowing that your purchased ticket is helping to fund essential welfare services, promoting comradeship, preserving heritage and educational programs.
Donations
Whether you make a donation during your visit, through our donation boxes, or online, you can opt to Gift Aid your donation if you are a UK taxpayer. This applies to one-off donations or regular contributions that help us to provide welfare, promote comradeship, and preserve The Black Watch's heritage preservation.
Supporting The Black Watch Regimental Trust through Gift Aid is simple. When purchasing your admission ticket or making a donation online, simply tick the Gift Aid box if you are eligible, allowing us to reclaim tax on your donation. If you prefer to donate in person during your visit, our staff can assist you in completing a Gift Aid Declaration, confirming your UK taxpayer status and agreement to Gift Aid your contributions. Your support through Gift Aid enables us to continue to support Black Watch veterans and their families through welfare, comradeship and the preservation and promotion of the Regiment’s history and ethos.
Thank you for considering Gift Aid and for helping us make a lasting impact through your generosity.
Gift Aid FAQ's

Gift Aid increases the value of your donation by 25%, enabling us to Provide Welfare to former Black Watch Soldiers and their dependants who are in need, Promote Comradeship through Black Watch Association branches, centrally arranged events, and via a range of volunteering opportunities at The Black Watch Castle and Museum and Preserve Heritage by sharing The Black Watch story and preserving the artefacts and archive for future generations via the work of The Black Watch Castle and Museum.
If you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in a tax year, you will be responsible for paying any difference.
