Scottish Burial Ground Conservation

Scottish Burial Ground Conservation involves protecting and maintaining historic cemeteries and burial sites in Scotland. It aims to preserve their cultural, historical, and architectural significance, ensuring they remain safeguarding places for ancestors and community heritage. This process includes careful repair, management, and sometimes adapting sites for contemporary use, all while respecting their original design and gravestones. Conservation helps preserve Scotland’s diverse history, reflects local identities, and promotes awareness of the importance of these sites for future generations.
