How many times in the last five years a building listed by Historic Scotland has been de-listed and what the reason was in each case.

In the last five years 354 buildings have been removed from the Scottish ministers lists of buildings of special architectural or historic interest. Two hundred of these have been removed because they no longer met the criteria for listing. Ninety-six had been demolished. Thirty-four were scheduled monuments and the separate designation of listing was not found necessary. Eighteen subjects had been listed twice (mostly bridges previously listed in two different boundary areas). Three had been destroyed by fire or other severe damage. Three were reduced by court or by parliamentary contract.
Delisting occurs when a building no longer possesses the necessary special architectural or historic interest to satisfy set criteria. The criteria are broadly age and rarity, architectural and historic interest, and close historical association. The criteria may no longer be satisfied if, for example, there was unauthorised work, fire damage, loss of features or context, collapse, new understanding of the importance of the structure within its building type, or where under different legislations, there is overlap of listing and scheduling. Historic Scotland endeavours to remove overlap, leaving a single designation where appropriate.
Each case is considered against set criteria and if an insufficient case can be made for its retention following consultation as appropriate then a subject will be removed from the list.
