Scheduled monuments are nationally important monuments and sites. The aim of scheduling is to preserve sites and monuments as far as possible in the form in which they have come down to us today. They are legally protected through the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. National importance takes account of a wide range of factors, including artistic, archaeological, architectural, historic, traditional, aesthetic, scientific and social. Guidance and criteria to assess national importance of monuments is set out by Scottish Ministers in The Scottish Historic Environment Policy. This data allows you to identify the approximate position, size and extent of scheduled monuments in Scotland. The purpose of this dataset is for importation into licence holders GIS applications to allow the user to identify the approximate position, size and extent of scheduled monuments in Scotland. The user should be aware that this information is INDICATIVE only and reference should always be made to the legal documentation.

Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Scheduled monuments are nationally important monuments and sites. The aim of scheduling is to preserve sites and monuments as far as possible in the form in which they have come down to us today. They are legally protected through the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. National importance takes account of a wide range of factors, including artistic, archaeological, architectural, historic, traditional, aesthetic, scientific and social. Guidance and criteria to assess national importance of monuments is set out by Scottish Ministers in The Scottish Historic Environment Policy. This data allows you to identify the approximate position, size and extent of scheduled monuments in Scotland. The purpose of this dataset is for importation into licence holders GIS applications to allow the user to identify the approximate position, size and extent of scheduled monuments in Scotland. The user should be aware that this information is INDICATIVE only and reference should always be made to the legal documentation. |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Scheduling is an ongoing process. We assess and reassess monuments as our knowledge and understanding of what survives and its importance changes. Sometimes monuments are amended to bring the maps and descriptions up-to-date. Data is updated on weekly basis unless no cases have been brought forward. Designation polygons were originally derived from legal documentation. Amendments are informed by a combination of methods: field visits; differential GPS; aerial photography and OS mapping (Mastermap - scale 1:2500). |
