Welcome to the website of the Arbroath Guildry Incorporation, the Scottish east coast town’s longest established secular organisation.
The Arbroath Guildry Incorporation was incorporated on the 6th September 1725 as a result of a bargain made by the Town Council with the town’s merchants regarding the building of a new harbour to improve trade. More information on the Guildry can be found here.
The Guildry today acts principally as a charitable trust but with an important additional remit to protect and promote the heritage of the town, world-famous as the site of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath.
The Guildry gives grants to voluntary organisations, charities and individuals. It also supports local schools and colleges.
If you or an organisation you are involved with wish to apply for a grant, please fill in the contact form.
The Guildry is always looking for new members
Membership is open to any individual who lives or works locally.
