Council for Scottish Archaeology - Scotland’s Historic Graveyards Questionnaire

We are interested in your views and priorities for graveyard conservation, management and recording, as well as your experiences of visiting sites. We aim to use this information to help design a new national graveyard project to continue and enhance the work of the Carved Stones Adviser Project. An application for funding will be submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund in the summer of 2005 and we hope to launch the new Scotland’s Historic Graveyards Project in April 2006. We have developed this questionnaire to help identify the key areas for us to tackle in this expanded project and to enable us to deliver the best package we can.
