Unique project to map heritage sites

A major heritage site in India will join Mount Rushmore, St Kilda and Skara Brae as part of a pioneering Scottish project to digitally record every buttress, crack and cranny, and even ancient graffiti, in 10 Unesco world heritage sites.

The Scottish Ten began its five-year mission to preserve 10 sites – five in Scotland, five abroad – in high-definition 3D last month. Images from the first site to be captured, New Lanark, have just been released.
