Members of the charity will be asked to confirm the appointment at its Annual General Meeting which takes place in Dundee’s Caird Hall on Saturday 30 September.

National Trust for Scotland Chairman Sir Moir Lockhead said the organisation are ‘very excited’ to welcome Oliver to the role.

He said:  “Neil has championed Scotland and its heritage throughout his career –unearthing new insights into its stories, sharing our stunning scenery and fascinating audiences all over the world.

We are very excited about the energy, enthusiasm and opportunities for more engagement that he will bring to our charity as we work to protect Scotland’s heritage, and share and celebrate all that we have to offer with more people.”

Sir Moir will offer a formal thank you to Lord Lindsay at the meeting, paying tribute to his huge contribution to the Trust, during a period of change.

Speaking ahead of the meeting in Dundee, Neil Oliver said:

“The National Trust for Scotland protects so much of what makes Scotland special. Over the years I have dug up some of its places, visited many more and been completely inspired by it all. I can’t wait to get more involved and I’ll be encouraging others to do the same.”
