==Background==
 
−
Falkland is very rich in historic and interesting buildings. Very many of them are Listed Buildings – buildings
 
−
listed by Historic Environment Scotland for their special architectural or historic interest.
 
−
But it's not easy to find out about the buildings or even where they are. Many of the buildings are
 
−
listed in the HES records by names that bear no relation to their current addresses.
 
−
Will you help us document our history and our heritage?
 
−

−
within the Falkland Conservation area, and other buildings of interest, asking residents to tell us about their house,
 
−
giving details such as any previous names the building was known by, and who lived there before 1970
 
−
(a 50-year cut-off to protect the privacy of current residents).
 
  
−
The survey also aims to cover special features of the building, for instance date stone, marriage stone,
