Scotland's Heritage

For over 10,000 years, Scotland has been shaped by human activity. Past generations have left their mark in a remarkable range of fascinating structures - which are now protected as nationally important scheduled monuments by Historic Scotland.

This collection of 20 postcards captures the nation's unique built heritage in a series of stunning photographs. From images of prehistoric stone circles and the evocative ruins of ancient brochs, to picturesque castles and even the remains of Second World War defences, these sites stand as enduring links to the long and diverse history of Scotland.
