GIVE IN YOUR WILL

We all want to look after our loved ones first and having done so, you may want to consider a legacy to The University of Edinburgh. As a registered charity (number SC004307), a legacy to The University of Edinburgh Development Trust in most instances is tax free and will reduce any inheritance tax burden on your estate, whilst ensuring your gift benefits others long into the future.

“I would like to think following generations can have the experience university gave me.”

Thank you for your interest in supporting the University with a bequest. A gift in your Will would help secure Edinburgh’s position as a top world University.

“And so may a little trace of help to the young heroic soul struggling for what is highest, spring from this arrangement and bequest” Will of Thomas Carlyle, 1867
