What assistance it can provide to protect the Wemyss caves from erosion.

Six of the Wemyss Caves are collectively designated as a single scheduled monument and are therefore of national importance. They are an important part of the historic environment for the local community, drawing in visitors and those in the academic community interested in early medieval Scotland. Nevertheless, protection of the caves against coastal erosion is a difficult and complex issue, with no practical and cost effective solution found to date. Although the protection and management of coastal areas rests with Fife Council, Historic Scotland is willing to provide technical advice and consider grant support to seek a long term viable solution for this monument.
