What is the Inventory? Recognising that battlefields are a
distinctive aspect of our historic environment, Scottish
Ministers announced in Scottish Historic Environment Policy ,
that Historic Scotland would prepare an Inventory of Historic
Battlefields that identifies and provides information on our
most important battlefields to aid their management into the
future. The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of
nationally important battlefields in Scotland that meet the
criteria published in SHEP. It provides information on the sites
in it to raise awareness of their significance and assist in
their protection and management for the future. It is a major
resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and
enjoyment of battlefields, for promoting education and
stimulating further research, and for developing their potential
as attractions for visitors. View the Inventory here
