Interpret Scotland is an inter-agency initiative between Scottish organisations concerned with heritage interpretation. It was begun in 1997 and its key aims are to :
- Improve the quality and quantity of interpretation in Scotland
- Promote the co-ordination of interpretation at local and strategic level
- Share resources, expertise and experience to avoid duplicating effort
The Interpret Scotland journal, which is published twice a year, has been running since 2000 and includes articles on all facets of interpretation. Interpret Scotland can be credited with raising awareness of professional heritage interpretation within Scotland, particularly through inter-agency support and networking.
Together with the Association for Heritage Interpretation, Interpret Scotland established a steering group which planned and carried out The Vital Spark Interpretation Conference.

“Four and twenty at her back
And they were a’ clad out in green;
Tho the King of Scotland had been there
The warst o’ them might hae been his Queen.
On we lap and awa we rade
Till we cam to yon bonny ha’
Whare the roof was o’ the beaten gold
And the floor was o’ the cristal a’.”
