Additional information source

Combining the roles of Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scoltand (RCAHMS) Historic Environment Scotland (HES) was established on 1st October 2015. HES maintains the National Record of the Historic Environment which collects, records and interprets information on the architectural, industrial, archaeological and maritime heritage of Scotland. The National Record hosts information gathered over more than a hundred years, and our archive offers a unique insight into the special nature of Scotland's Places.
