Always up in Scotland’s skies
When you love Scotland fiercely, it’s only natural that you want to pass on that passion to the people who follow in your footsteps, safe in the knowledge that help will be there, if needed.
Ensuring the way of life you love lives on, with a gift in your Will
We live in one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Whether at home, work, or out exploring, we live life against Scotland’s remarkable backdrop.
But such a beautiful, unique landscape brings challenges. When someone becomes critically ill or injured, help can sometimes feel out of reach.
A gift in your Will is one of the most powerful ways you can support us to keep on saving lives.
It means the people of Scotland can continue to rely on our service, wherever they live, work or wander. By remembering us in this way, you’ll be up in the skies with us, protecting your community and what matters most to you.
Debbie and Andy run a remote family farm, Auchriachan, in Tomintoul, “the highest village in the Highlands.” Winters are long, weather can easily block access, and when the worst happens, SCAA’s air ambulances become crucial, as Debbie discovered. “If it wasn’t for the air ambulance, I doubt I would have survived.”
When Debbie was severely injured by a distressed mother and calf, the air ambulance’s swift response made the difference between life and death. A road journey that would have taken well over an hour lasted just 20 minutes by air. “SCAA’s swift action means my dad has his daughter, my husband has his wife, my sons have their mum, and my grandchildren have their grandma.”
Debbie’s wish is that SCAA will keep future generations of Scottish farmers safe. With a gift in your Will, you’ll protect the lives and livelihoods of people like Debbie and help us reach communities across Scotland, wherever they are.
“My legacy costs nothing in life, but will save the lives of others.”

Why gifts in Wills matter so much
While every donation is important to us, gifts like these can have the biggest impact.
They cost nothing during your lifetime, yet they make a lasting difference, meaning we can keep on saving lives tomorrow as we do today. By remembering SCAA, you’ll become a vital member of our team. You’ll live on, safe in the knowledge that people across Scotland can continue to feel safe, far into the future – wherever they are.
By deciding to support us in this way, you’re allowing us to plan ahead, making sure our service is as efficient and impactful as possible, secure in the knowledge we’ll have funds in the future.
It means we’ll be able to continue investing in our service to give patients the best chance of survival. But more than that – it’s about the families you’ll reunite, the Scottish communities you’ll keep together and the livelihoods you’ll protect.
You’ll always be up in the skies with us
In recognition of each life-saving gift, the names of those remembering SCAA in this special way will be written in our SCAA Legacy Logbook that accompanies our crew on every mission.
