Listed buildings are designated for their special architectural and historical interest. To merit designation the property must satisfy set criteria, prepared by Historic Scotland, which distinguishes their significance.

 

Where are Listed Buildings in the Park?

There are 563 buildings or structures listed in the National Park and they range from castles to small cottages and piers to aqueducts. The National Park Authority holds the list of buildings and structures which are scheduled or listed within the National Park. You can also search the Historic Scotland website for information on a listed building or  we can advise you whether or not your property is listed.

 

Historic Scotland publishes a general leaflet called Scotland's Listed Buildings, for Owners and Occupiers. This is an informal account of the legislation protecting Scotland's historic buildings, describing how it is administered by Historic Scotland.
