of the Register |
The Buildings at Risk Register is a unique Scottish resource which has been built up by The Scottish Civic Trust since 1990. It was established on behalf of Historic Scotland who fully fund the programme. In August 2003 it was put on-line at www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk for people to search freely.
The Register provides information about endangered buildings of all kinds-from pigsties to palaces. It aims to marry up interested and concerned restorers with suitable restoration projects. The Register now runs to some 1,500 buildings and includes castles, mansions, churches, schools, industrial buildings, town halls, farm buildings, town houses, commercial premises and thatched cottages. The Register covers statutorily protected or Listed Buildings, but also includes other property that is of architectural or historic interest within and outside conservation areas.
The aim of the Register is to highlight serious problems in the management of the built heritage and to put potential restorers in touch with owners who are not in a position to tackle the problems themselves, in the hope of encouraging fruitful dialogue, which might result in a building being given a new lease of life.
