World Heritage Sites

St Kilda is the only World Heritage Site in Scotland recognised for its natural heritage. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) later extended this status to also include the archipelago’s cultural heritage. St Kilda today remains one of the rare ‘mixed’ World Heritage Sites.Find out more about St Kilda’s World Heritage Site status on the UNESCO website.Scotland’s Flow Country, an expanse of blanket bog in Caithness and Sutherland, is on the UK Tentative List of potential World Heritage Sites. The Peatlands Partnership is conducting a community consultation on the potential for a Flow Country World Heritage Site.
