Transition Scotland

Transition Scotland is our national "Hub" or umbrella body for all Scottish Transition groups. It offers support and assitance to new and long-established groups, and from time to time organises events where Transitioners from all over Scotland (and sometimes further afield) can get together and share experiences.
