How to get involved

There is much you can do to help, particularly in the recording of carved stones. You will probably be able to do this most effectively through membership of a national or local society.

• For contact details see Council for Scottish Archaeology
• Or make an enquiry to RCAHMS
• For recording of graveyards and gravestones see Scottish Graveyards

Conservation of carved stones

If the conservation of particular carved stones interests you, or you want to report a problem, check first whether the stone is scheduled or listed (legally protected) by visiting PASTMAP.

• If it is a scheduled monument, contact Historic Scotland by email to hs.heritagemanagement@scotland.gsi.gov.uk or ring 0131 668 8770.
• For listed sites and conservation areas, contact the local authority conservation officer - visit ·the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) (Note: not all local authorities are served by members of IHBC).

If a carving is neither scheduled nor listed then your first contact for conservation advice is either your local archaeological service, local authority conservation officer or local museum.
