Fife has over 6,000 listed buildings and structures, nearly 10% of Scotland’s total number. Each building or structure is recognised for its architectural or historic significance and is classified into three categories according to their relative importance:
Category A: Outstanding examples of a particular period, style or building type.
Category B: Major examples of a particular period, style or building type.
Category C: Representative examples of a period, style or building type.
Check if a building or structure is listed via our Listed Buildings Map or Historic Environment Scotland’s map search.
Inclusion criteria include age, rarity, architectural/historic interest, or historic associations.
Important: Listing applies to both interiors and exteriors and may extend to cover associated structures and buildings, this is known as the 'curtilage' of a listing. For more information, see Historic Scotland’s guidance: What is listing? and Scotland’s Listed Buildings.
