The MacRobert Trust is the proud keeper of an historic legacy left by their founder and benefactor Lady Rachel MacRobert that is focussed on her interests, those of her husband, Sir Alexander and in memory of the tragic loss of their 3 sons, the youngest losing their lives within 5 weeks of each other during WW2, serving as pilots in the Royal Air Force. The Trust is centred on an Aberdeenshire estate that not only has farms and forestry but commercial and residential property as well as a 4 Star Country House Hotel – Douneside House, Lady MacRobert’s former home and gardens; the Trust’s profits each year are granted to charities across the UK reflecting those family interests in the military, education, Science and engineering, agriculture & horticulture and youth, as well as the estate’s local area and community. So many estates strive to be exemplary and live up to the SLE’s Landowner’s charter and the MacRobert Trust endeavours to be amongst that leading group and that is why it is proud to sponsor the HiH awards in general and, noting the fundamental importance of local community relationships, the particular “working with communities” award.

The RVIVAL Collective is a Scotland-based collective of exceptional people and remarkable places creating deeply considered experiences for influential individuals, private clients and leading brands. We believe that the people with the greatest ability to shape the future of our landscapes— through investment, influence, philanthropy and storytelling—rarely have the opportunity to truly understand them. At the same time, the people who hold generations of knowledge about our wild places, rural traditions and land stewardship open don't have the platform their expertise deserves. RVIVAL exists to bridge that gap. We create meaningful encounters between these two worlds, connecting influential audiences with the custodians of Britain's landscapes. By amplifying the voices, skills and stories of estates, gamekeepers, ghillies, ecologists, chefs, craftspeople and rural communities, we inspire a deeper understanding of why these places matter—and why they're worth protecting. We believe that when people understand the land, they're more likely to champion it, invest in it and advocate for its future. That creates a las ng ripple effect far beyond any single experience. A core part of this mission is partnering with estates and landowners across Scotland to create carefully managed, knowledge-led experiences rooted in traditional skills, land stewardship and rural heritage. We work alongside estate teams to develop authentic, low impact opportunities that generate sustainable revenue while protecting the character, rhythms and integrity of the land. We're looking to connect with estates, farms and rural businesses who believe their landscape has a story to share and are interested in thoughtful diversification without compromising what makes their place unique. Scottish Land & Estates members are invited to a complimentary Estate Experience & Diversification on call, exploring how existing knowledge, heritage and estate assets could become carefully curated experiences that generate income, build awareness and create long-term value for both the estate and the wider landscape.
