Three historic Scottish buildings have been added to a list of 'at risk' sites that are vacant and whose future is uncertain.
More than 1,300 buildings across the Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland are empty and in poor condition even though in many cases they have long and fascinating histories.
As reported by The Mirror, the Buildings at Risk Register is a list of old swimming baths, factories, chapels, mills, and more that campaign group SAVE believe could be repurposed. Three Scottish sites in Shetland and Fife have just been added to the list, which dates back to 1989.
SAVE's website states: "We are at the forefront of national heritage conservation. We intervene to help historic buildings and places in serious danger of demolition or decay.
"We stand apart from other organisations by bringing together architects, engineers, planners and investors to offer viable alternative proposals. Where necessary, and with expert advice, we take legal action to prevent major and needless losses."
It adds: "The register is a national platform for raising awareness of neglected historic buildings and advocating their reuse as a means to ensure their survival.
"At a time when this is high on the nation's agenda, finding sustainable new uses for historic buildings could not be more important."
