The Built Environment Forum Scotland (BEFS) has published an article highlighting the Scottish Castles Association’s work to develop a national Archive of Scotland’s castles, in partnership with the University of Stirling.

The article outlines the ambition to create a permanent, freely accessible digital resource bringing together historic photographs, drawings, research and archival records, alongside new recording and fieldwork.

The SCA is also pleased to have become a member of BEFS, strengthening its links with Scotland’s wider built heritage sector and providing opportunities for collaboration on matters affecting the country’s historic environment.

This includes proposed joint work on the Scotland’s Castles: Use Them or Lose Them initiative, which aims to develop practical guidance and resources for existing and prospective castle owners.

We are grateful to BEFS for its interest and support in raising awareness of the Archive and look forward to developing this relationship.
