The Greens makes several specific references related to museums and heritage, promising to:
- “Review items in the Scottish public collections with the aim to support the restitution and repatriation of looted or unethically acquired items”.“
- Support greater community involvement in the management of Scotland’s historic and cultural sites, through the creation of community oversight boards, particularly in rural and island communities.”
- “Introduce new conditionality of public funding to Scotland’s museums and cultural assets so that, where appropriate, all recipients should commit to research, interpret, and share the histories of Scotland’s links to empire, colonialism, and historic slavery.”
- “And we want to make sure that Scotland’s arts and cultural output reflects the true diversity of our country – platforming all the languages of Scotland and celebrating the work of New Scots,” adds the manifesto.
