Royal Commission On The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland

The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland was an executive non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government, which was "sponsored" through Historic Scotland, an executive agency of the Scottish Government. As one of the country's National Collections, it was responsible for recording, interpreting and collecting information about the built and historic environment. This information, which relates to buildings, sites, and ancient monuments of archaeological, architectural and historical interest, as well as historical aspects of the landscape, was then made available to the public, mainly at no cost. It was established by a Royal Warrant of 1908, which was revised in 1992. The RCAHMS merged with government agency Historic Scotland to form Historic Environment Scotland, a new executive non-departmental public body on 1 October 2015.
