  • Historic Scotland is an executive agency of the Scottish Government, responsible for historic monuments in Scotland. Its website states: It has direct responsibility for maintaining and running over 360 monuments in its care, about a quarter of which are manned and charge admission entry. Membership is available, renewable annually which admits the holder to all properties free of charge and equivalent sites in England and Wales (at half price in the first year and free thereafter). It publishes a quarterly magazine as well as many guidebooks and manuals, in partnership with HMSO or private publishing companies. Since its inception (as successor organisation to the Ancient Monuments Division of the Ministry of Works and the Scottish Development Department) it has increased the number of events run at its sites, most frequently designed to engage young people with history. Similarly, new museums and visitor centres have been opened, notably at Arbroath Abbey and Urquhart Castle. There is also a hospitality section, which makes some properties available for wedding receptions and functions. As an arm of government, Historic Scotland has similar functions to its counterparts in other parts of the United Kingdom: English Heritage in England (although EH is a non-departmental public body rather than part of central government, like the others) Cadw in Wales, Environment and Heritage Service in Northern Ireland. The agency's Framework Document sets out the responsibilities of Scottish Minister's and the agency's Chief Executive. Its Corporate Plan sets out its targets and performance against them. Historic Scotland's role has not been without controversy. In 2002, proposals to restore Castle Tioram in the West Highlands, by putting a roof back on, were blocked by Historic Scotland, which favoured stabilising it as a ruin. This position was supported in an extensive Public Local Inquiry at which the arguments for both sides were heard. It has been implied that this dispute has led to a review of the operations of the organisation. Such disputes on the proper way to conserve a building are common, but are normally resolved within an academic context. Some believe that Historic Scotland seems to have had trouble dealing with a dispute spilling over into a major public argument, and has been seen as autocratic and out of touch with the economic needs of rural Scotland. Historic Scotland is currently consulting on and publishing a comprehensive series of Scottish Historic Environment Policy papers, consolidated into a single volume in October 2008 .
  • Historic Scotland (Écosse historique) est l'agence écossaise des Monuments historiques. Elle a été créée en tant qu'agence en 1991 et a été attaché au département exécutif écossais d'éducation, qui regroupe tous les aspects liés au culturel, en mai 1999. En tant qu'élément, elle est directement responsable envers les ministres écossais de sauvegarder l'héritage de la nation écossaise et de favoriser sa compréhension et sa sauvegarde. Selon la règle du Parlement écossais, cette mission fait partie des missions du gouvernement de ce pays. Organisme du gouvernement, Historic Scotland fonctionne d'une manière semblable à ses homologues dans d'autres parties du Royaume-Uni : English Heritage Cadw Le rôle de Historic Scotland n'a pas été sans polémique. En 2002, des propositions de reconstitution du château de Tioram dans les montagnes de l'Écosse de l'Ouest, en remettant un toit, ont été bloquées par Historic Scotland, qui préférait le sauvegarder uniquement comme ruine. Cette position a été soutenue dans une enquête locale publique pour laquelle les arguments des deux côtés ont été entendus. (les résultats de l'enquête sont disponibles à). De tels conflits sur la façon la plus appropriée de conserver un bâtiment historique sont classiques, mais sont normalement résolus dans un contexte d'apaisement et de médiation. Historic Scotland semble avoir eu une façon de traiter un conflit en étant autocratique et hors du contact avec les besoins économiques de l'Écosse rurale (qui ne sont pas, après tout, dans son mandat).
  • Historic Scotland is een onderdeel van het Schotse bestuur, verantwoordelijk voor de instandhouding van de historische omgeving van de natie Schotland en heeft tot taak het begrip voor en plezier in de Schotse geschiedenis te verspreiden. De organisatie legt direct verantwoording af aan de Schotse ministers. In het kader van monumentenzorg beheert Historic Scotland al meer dan 300 gebouwen en constructies, waaronder Cairn o'Get en Crossraguel Abbey. Om kennis over deze monumenten te verspreiden geeft de organisatie gidsen uit en ander educatief materiaal. Binnen het Verenigd Koninkrijk zijn vergelijkbare organisaties te vinden, namelijk English Heritage in Engeland, Cadw in Wales, Environment and Heritage Service in Noord-Ierland en Manx National Heritage op het eiland Man.
  • Historic Scotland er en skotsk etat som har ansvar for bevaring av historiske monumenter, fremme av bruken av disse til forståelse av nasjonens historie og rekreasjon og for administrasjon av bygningsvern. Den ble opprettet i 1991, og ble i mai 1999 knyttet til det skotske Undervisningsdepartementet, som har ansvar for nasjonens kulturelle arv. Det ligger dermed under Scottish Executive, og står til ansvar overfor de skotske ministrene og Det skotske parlamentet. Denne organisasjonsformen tilsvarer organisasjoner i andre deler av Storbritannia: English Heritage, Cadw og Environment and Heritage Service. Organisasjonen har vært involvert i kontroversielle avgjørelser. Spesielt var det stor strid omkring Castle Tioram i 2002. En plan om å restaurere det ved å legge nytt tak ble blokkert av Historic Scotland, som ønsket å stabilisere slottsruinen i stedet. Det ble avholdt en omfattende lokal høring, og Historic Scotlands plan vant frem, etter en opprivende diskusjon. Slike diskusjoner om bevaringsmetoder er ikke uvanlige, men de holdes normalt innenfor et akademisk miljø. Historic Scotland har blitt beskyldt for å være autokratisk og uten forståelse for behovene på den skotske langsbygden, og for å forårsake at det som kunne vært en rent faglig diskusjon om hva som er best for en ruin blir en krangel som allmennheten trekkes inn i.
