HLAmap re-launches

HLAmap is an interactive digital map that shows changing patterns of land-use throughout Scotland. Users can select specific areas of the country to research, view land-use trends by ‘Category’, ‘Type’, ‘Period’ and  ‘Relict Period’, and identify individual sites by their land-use.

The new website is designed around the existing HLAmap search engine but now includes added features and content, from an interactive Glossary of illustrations and maps demonstrating how HLA interprets the landscape, to downloadable HLA reports and documents.

The Historic Land-use Assessment (HLA) Project is a partnership initiative between RCAHMS and Historic Scotland to analyse and record land-use throughout the country.
