Association for the Protection of Rural Scotland (APRS) works to protect Scotland's world renowned landscape and the amenity of the countryside. As an independent charity, we welcome as members all who share what we care about - Scotland's varied scenery and rural environment which is a priceless asset for the health, prosperity and well being of present and future generations. We strive to be an authorative voice which makes good things happen in rural Scotland and combats threats to damage it.



APRS sets out to address such threats and aims to ensure Scotland's landscape is protected for now and the future by:-



- Promoting a democratic and effective town & country planning system.



- Promoting effective means of landscape protection.



- Promoting better rural design.



- Responding to government proposals which affect rural Scotland, particularly where they affect the landscape.



- Responding to development plans and planning applications and taking part in Public Enquiries.
