Current status: Answered by Angus Robertson on 30 October 2025
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-39876 by Angus Robertson on 10 September 2025, which sites managed by Historic Environment Scotland are currently (a) temporarily and (b) permanently closed, broken down by local authority area.
As per Historic Environments Scotland’s (HES) established annual approach, a number of sites across the HES estate are currently closed for the winter season, or will close in November, in line with sector best practice. Further information on closures can be found at https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/check-for-closures/.
As indicated in my earlier reply day-to-day operational matters of Historic Environment Scotland, including information relating to any repair and maintenance works of any specific site, are best answered directly by Historic Environment Scotland.
