Whether it will list all the designations and classifications used for buildings and monuments, giving the distinctions between each.

There are four statutory andnon-statutory designations for historic monuments, buildings and sites. Theseare:
Listed buildings are buildingsof special architectural or historic interest which are given legal protectionunder the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland)Act 1997. Those awarded have satisfied criteria for inclusion, broadly age andrarity, architectural interest, close historical associations and groupinterest. Greater selectivity is applied to subjects younger than thirty years old.
A listing may legally beapplied to any-man-made structure which meets the criteria. The interiorstructure is always included in a listing as is any object or structure fixedto it.
Listing brings with it acurtilage comprised of any object or structure which, though not fixed to thebuilding, forms part of the land and has done so since 1 July 1948.
Listing applies a gradingsystem to distinguish between relative levels of interest and assist withfuture management of the resource (categories A, B and C(S)).
Scheduled monuments areancient monuments of national importance given legal protection under the Ancient Monumentsand Archaeological Areas Act 1979. A scheduled monument can include: the aboveand below-ground remains of buildings, structures or works; the site ofvehicles, vessels, aircraft or other moveable structures where the actualsituation of these is a matter of public interest; and machinery that isassociated with these if it cannot be detached without dismantling themonument. Underwater monuments in Scottish Territorial Waters (out to 12nautical miles offshore) can also be scheduled.
We cannot schedule adwelling or ecclesiastical building that is in use, portable objects, or wrecksprotected under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973.
Designated Wreck Sites arenationally important[U1] wrecks and the sites of those wrecks which aredesignated as protected areas under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973. Again,Historic Scotland administers the responsibilities of Scottish ministers underthis act.
Conservation Areas: Inaddition, under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland)Act 1997, planning authorities have powers to designate areas of their districtas being of special architectural or historic interest, that is as ConservationAreas.
Choice of statutorydesignation.
Distinction between Listingand Scheduling: Different sites will qualify for different types ofdesignation, and be designated under more than one. Scheduling and listing are subjectto separate legal provision and apply different criteria for selection. Themanagement of listed buildings following designation falls to local authoritiesin the first instance. Historic Scotland deals with scheduled monuments onbehalf of Scottish ministers. If a site is both scheduled and listed,scheduling takes precedence. All scheduled monuments are of national importancewhereas listing may be applied to subjects of national, regional or localinterest.
Scheduling aims for thepreservation of the site in the state it has come down to us, with thepresumption that any future works will be the minimum necessary consistent withthe preservation of the monument. Within the planning system listing isdesigned to inform the management of change while aiming to protectthe special architectural or historic interest of the subject.
Non-Statutory Designation
Gardens and DesignedLandscapes of national importance are identified in the Inventory ofGardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland. Historic Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage are the sponsors of the Inventory. Sites are chosen for their importance as individual works of artin their own right and, for
