A National Cultural Strategy for Scotland

Report of Consultation

1 February 2000 - by Bonnar Keenlyside

1. Introduction

1.1 The Scottish Executive’s Partnership for Scotland, published in May 1999, contains a commitment to develop a National Cultural Strategy for Scotland. As a first step, the Deputy Minister for Culture and Sport, Rhona Brankin MSP, launched a consultation document in August 1999. This was followed by a series of public meetings throughout Scotland and a request for responses to the consultation document.

1.2 15 public meetings were held, involving around 750 people and 350 responses were received by email or letter. Bonnar Keenlyside was asked to produce a report on the consultation. This is a summary of the consultation process and of a review of cultural strategies in other countries.
