Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes, and Inventory of historic battlefields.
Listing is the process that identifies, designates, and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest. This is set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. Buildings of special architectural or historic interest are listed. The selection guidance is published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019).
Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building. It has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary. They have no legal weight.
Listing covers both the exterior and the interior. It includes any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached. These must be part of the curtilage of the listed building. They also must have been erected before 1 July 1948.
Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building. This affects its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest.
