The SCVO has, and continues to play a fundamental role in the renovation and preservation of Mansfield Traquair. By realising the potential for converting the lower parts of the building into offices, they have provided the building with a long term future as the headquarters for the SCVO.
The SCVO represents the Scottish voluntary sector through its work, providing a range of services which help voluntary organisations operate more effectively. The building is ideal for the SCVO due to its great central location set in attractive surroundings, and can be accessed by people with disabilities, besides being a pleasant and comfortable place to work. The ongoing relationship between the traditional building and the modern organisation exemplifies how the past and present can work together to mutual benefit, and the results have been a life line for Mansfield Traquair.
