About the Caird Trust

The Sir James Caird Travelling Scholarships Trust (The Caird Trust) was set up in 1927 in memory of Dundee industrialist and philanthropist, Sir James Caird (1837-1926), by his sister Mrs Marryat, to provide financial support for travelling scholarships in the field of, among others, music, to be eligible to Natives of Scotland only…”

The role of the Trust has evolved over time, but each year the Trust makes a number of awards to students seeking to pursue their music studies.

The Trust is registered with the Scottish Charities Office, number 003423.
