owners and occupiers

Many of Scotland’s listed buildings and ancient monuments are in private ownership. This means that the custodians of our past are people like you.

In Scotland, there are some 47,000 listed buildings, less than 2 per cent of the country’s buildings. Being listed is a mark of quality and looking after your listed building will protect your investment and the nation’s historic environment.

The links which we have highlighted below will direct you to publications,  free advice, available grants,  the processes and the benefits of owning and living in a listed building or looking after an ancient monument.

We hope that you will find the information comprehensive and helpful.
