Gardens and Designed Landscapes

Gardens and designed landscapes are grounds which have been laid out for artistic effect and, in appropriate cases, include references to any buildings, land, or water on, adjacent, or contiguous to such grounds.

Sites included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes are nationally important. The criteria for determining national importance is published in Annex 5 of the Scottish Historic Environment Policy 2011.

The duty to compile and maintain the Inventory is statutory. Historic Environment Scotland manages this work on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.

There is no primary legislation that affords protection to Inventory gardens and designed landscapes. However, Inventory status is a material consideration in the planning system.

园林与设计景观系指专为艺术效果而规划之场地，在适宜的情况下，此类场地还包括位于其上、邻近或与之相连的建筑、土地或水域。收录于《园林与设计景观清单》中的场地具有国家重要性。确定国家重要性的标准收录于《2011年苏格兰历史环境政策》的附件5中。《园林与设计景观清单》的编制与维护是一项法定职责。苏格兰历史环境局代表苏格兰大臣负责此项工作。目前尚无针对《园林与设计景观清单》中的园林和设计景观提供保护的初级立法。然而，清单状态在规划体系中被视为一项重要考量。
