Historic Environment Scotland (HES) has announced a national campaign to find out what heritage means to the people of Scotland as part of the 2017 Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology.
The campaign aims to find places, buildings and monuments that Scottish people want to see recognised and celebrated – from theatres to pubs, and castles to schools.
People can contribute their ideas through an online survey and HES is running a series of informal workshops across the country to give people a chance to participate in conversations in their area. There is also a digital toolkit that is available to organisations or groups that want to run their own workshop. Ideas can also be shared via social media via the #MyHeritageIs hashtag.
HES aims to use the feedback to help shape new policies that will assist it in protecting and celebrating historic sites now and in the future. The organisation is encouraging people to consider how change to designated sites and places should be managed, since the historic environment can and should form the focus for regeneration and business development.
