Historic Environment Scotland
Also known as Arainneadchd eachdraidheil alba · HES · Historic Scotland (formerly) · Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (formerly) · The National Record of the Historic Environment
Historic Environment Scotland was formed in October 2015 following the merger between Historic Scotland and The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. Historic Environment Scotland is the lead public body established to investigate, care for and promote Scotland’s historic environment. We lead and enable Scotland’s first historic environment strategy Our Place in Time, which sets out how our historic environment will be managed. It ensures our historic environment is cared for, valued and enhanced, both now and for future generations.
