DESCRIPTION
For over a decade, the Historic Land-use Assessment (HLA) Project – a partnership between Historic Scotland and RCAHMS – has undertaken the challenge of mapping Scotland’s historic landscape character. By 2015 the Project will have delivered 100% coverage and, for the first time, Scotland will have a map providing time-depth. The final stages of this project provide a valuable opportunity for review and reflection, and in this presentation we review where we have got to and think about some possibilities for the future.
