Abstract:
the paper describes the Historic Land-use Assessment (HLA) project in Scotland, which was designed to create a digital map of the origins of the present countryside to enable it to be managed in a comprehensive way for the first time. Before the mid-1990s the only historic element in the landscape other than archaeological sites that was considered in the planning process was designed landscapes, whereas the HLA approach has embraced the whole landscape: urban and rural. In essence the map identifies any land use that has left a mark on the landscape, be it current or relict. The genesis of the project was conservation rather than reconstruction, and the approach is archaeological and evidence-based. The features must be evident on present or past maps or air photographs and as far as possible the interpretation is confirmed by fieldwork. There is no attempt to infer things that cannot be verified, but morphological typology is used as a method of interpretation
