The Brownlee Old Town Trust

In 1994 the OTA was bequeathed part of the estate of one of its members, Mrs Sybil Brownlee. Rather than subsume the money into general funds, the OTA set up The Brownlee Old Town Trust. The fund has subsequently been augmented by residual monies following the winding up of Old Town and Southside Charitable Trust and St Ann's Community Centre. The Brownlee Trust also manages the Mary Whitfield Fund which pays for the annual Mary Whitfield Citizenship Prizes awarded by the Royal Mile Primary School.

The Brownlee Old Town Trust gives grants to organisations or individuals for projects within or connected to the Old Town of Edinburgh of a social, educational or artistic nature, involving or of benefit to young people
