Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Castles and Tower Houses
This document is part of a series of non-statutory guidance notes about managing change in the historic environment. They explain how to apply the policies in the Historic Environment Policy for Scotland.
The document provides guidance for anyone considering a castle consolidation or restoration project, such as owners, local authorities or other interested parties. It sets out the principles that apply to works on castles and tower houses and helps guide decision-making on consent for applications relating to castles.
We regularly review and update our policy advice and guidance. When we propose any changes, we hold public consultations to ensure your opinions can help to shape the guidance we provide. Find out more about our current consultations.

Thank you
The Engine Shed has been supported by a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to create Scotland’s dedicated building conservation centre. It enables us to encourage understanding of traditional building materials and skills among the public and professionals and raise standards in conservation for traditional buildings.
