Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees consider the company to be a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on that basis. The Trustees believe this to be the case due to the comfort taken from the level of reserves available to the Trust, and the income yield which that endowment produces in relation to the committed operating costs of the Trust. Any cash-flow shortfall is met through operating activities and the continued financial support provided by the benefactors to the Trust.”

Significant events

• “completion of conservation work on the Egyptian Hall ceiling at Boughton, the final leg of a project that has taken eight years and which has been the largest and most challenging in the Trust's history.”
• “a major conservation programme on the roof has been undertaken by the Boughton Estates. This work is expected to take nine months to complete and alongside the complete rewiring at Bowhill over a four-year period.”
• “The Venice Music Project was a particularly rewarding example involving academic research in the archives followed by concerts of rare and occasionally unique 18th century music held within them.”
• “Dalkeith Palace hosted many varied exhibitions this year including the Scottish Furniture Makers Association, Visual Arts Scotland, and our own "Photo Dalkeith".”
• “Drumlanrig provided the essential quiet and secure environment for the meeting of Muslim and Jewish leaders which resulted in the Drumlanrig Accords, a copy of which was signed the following month and presented to HM The King at Buckingham Palace.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
