Six Scottish sites in bid for world heritage status

Six locations across Scotland are aiming to be ranked alongside world-famous landmarks such as the Taj Mahal and Great Wall of China by bidding for Unesco World Heritage status.

Arbroath Abbey, the Forth Bridge, and the Flow Country – an area of peatlands in Caithness and Sutherland – have all answered the UK Government’s call to try to increase the country’s share of the prestigious heritage sites.
