Historic Environment Scotland has been established as the new body to investigate, care for and promote Scotlands historic environment. This will build on the strong and long-established performance of Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. The Board will shortly begin preparatory work, prior to taking up its full powers on 1 October 2015.
