Historic Environment Scotland ↗

World heritage site: Edinburgh World Heritage Site Boundary

Nationally designated heritage. Its significance and setting carry great weight.

Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Historic Environment Scotland ↗

Old Town conservation area

Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.

Also on the record

Radon affected area, class 3; SSSI 445 m away: Arthur's Seat Volcano.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 9 October 2026.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
