Abstract

The Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland provides information on around 1250 buildings of architectural or historic merit that are considered to be at risk. Ranging from large baronial castles to small vernacular farmhouses, or from former factories to redundant churches, all represent considerable restoration opportunities. Established in 1990 by the Scottish Civic Trust on behalf of Historic Scotland, the Register was the first of its kind in the UK and is now emulated nationally. In April 2004, the Scottish Civic Trust embarked upon an exciting new chapter with the launch of www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk.
