Find out more about the heritage of your local area
Dig deep into the history of places in Scotland and beyond to discover fascinating insights into hidden stories and histories of buildings, towns and cities.
If you’re looking for live information about designated sites and places (for example scheduled monuments and listed buildings) please go to the Historic Environment Scotland Portal for the most up to date data. The PastMap search should not be relied upon to confirm the presence of current designations.
I'm ready to dig deep...Essential maintenance
HES is currently undertaking essential maintenance on our web services. This will limit access to services in the following ways:
- Subscription access for HES online services will be unavailable (Scran, NCAP)
- Image purchasing options will be limited (Canmore, Britain from Above, Scran, NCAP)
- Any enhanced services which require a log in will be unavailable (My Canmore, Britain from Above contributions, Scran contribute)
General access to these services will all continue. Enquiries will still be able to be submitted.
We anticipate services to be restored from Monday 1st February 2021.
