Historic Environment Scotland is the lead public body established to care for and promote Scotland’s historic environment.

We lead on Scotland’s first historic environment strategy ‘Our Place in Time’, which sets out how our historic environment will be managed, with a focus on how it is cared for, valued and enhanced, both now and for future generations.

We see the historic environment as everything that has been created by people over time: the tangible and the intangible. It can be a place, an object or an idea. The historic environment shapes our identity. It tells us about the past, the present – and even points the way to the future.

At Historic Environment Scotland, we want the historic environment to make a real difference to people’s lives. A difference to our health, to our economy, to our culture and to our environment. We want heritage to involve everyone so that we all benefit and this is detailed in our corporate plan ‘Heritage for All’, which is our long term vision for the work and focus of the organisation.
