Scotland has a rich heritage of castles, mansions and garden landscapes, ecclesiastical and industrial sites, cities, towns and villages. This wealth of buildings provides many opportunities for study, but despite being famous throughout the world, our heritage is in constant need of protection.

The AHSS is committed to encouraging public understanding and appreciation of our built environment and supports the thoughtful and meaningful preservation and restoration of historic buildings.
