Key

The scheme for classifying buildings in Scotland is:

  • Category A: "buildings of national or international importance, either architectural or historic; or fine, little-altered examples of some particular period, style or building type."[1]
  • Category B: "buildings of regional or more than local importance; or major examples of some particular period, style or building type, which may have been altered."[1]
  • Category C: "buildings of local importance; lesser examples of any period, style, or building type, as originally constructed or moderately altered; and simple traditional buildings which group well with other listed buildings."[1]

In March 2016 there were 47,288 listed buildings in Scotland. Of these, 8% were Category A, and 50% were Category B, with the remaining 42% being Category C.[2]

gollark: It does help you with things, and people find it fun.
gollark: I like it because you don't have to worry about stuff like "units" and "error bars" and in many cases even "numbers".
gollark: You vaguely remind me of my former maths teacher, who seemed really weirdly enthusiastic about (some) maths.
gollark: However, gnobody, universities are not able to instantly teach maths[citation needed] so that is not *that* relevant. Although I suppose you'll probably like learning it full-time from very good mathers™ more, you can do SOME mathy stuff now.
gollark: You can just learn more maths now. You don't have to go to universities just to learn maths.
