The Quaich Project

Norman Springford OBE is stepping down as Chair of The Ross Development Trust. Our team is immensely thankful for the work Norman has contributed to this project and his vision that will hopefully change the future of West Princes Street Gardens for the better.

Norman founded The Ross Development Trust in 2016 with the singular aspiration of delivering significant improvements within West Princes Street Gardens. Set-up with a £5 million philanthropic donation, Norman successfully created this project in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council and strove to make this vision a reality for, and for the benefit of, the people of Edinburgh.

Norman’s vision and generosity are an example to everyone, and we are extremely grateful to him for taking the project so far. The heart of this project is creating something good for the people of Edinburgh and Norman has worked tirelessly to achieve that.

We now look forward to working together as a team and with a new Chair to continue to deliver this vision.
