The register of archaeology is maintained by the West of Scotland Archaeology Service (WoSAS) on behalf of East Ayrshire Council with records of listed buildings, scheduled monuments and conservation areas covered by Historic Environment Scotland. Cultural heritage sites in East Ayrshire with statutory or non-statutory designation comprise: 29 Scheduled Monuments 44 category A Listed Buildings 334 category B Listed Buildings 362 category C Listed Buildings 26 Conservation Areas 7 Inventory Historic Garden & Designed Landscapes 1 Inventory Battlefield 1877 undesignated cultural heritage sites There are currently 60 buildings, either listed or within conservation areas, which are considered to be ‘at risk’ according to the Buildings at Risk Register, with 4 of these under restoration. Trends in Cultural Heritage The cultural heritage of East Ayrshire has been affected by several distinct trends over the last few decades, some of which have led to direct impacts on the cultural heritage resource. Among these trends are: The change from deep mining to surface coal mining, which has led to the remains of earlier mines and pits being destroyed by the later surface coaling operation; The development of infrastructure (e.g. M77); The development of housing; Renewable energy initiatives, including windfarms and wind turbines; Afforestation; and A number of listed buildings have been demolished, mostly due to poor maintenance by the owners that result in them becoming a danger to the public.
