Lesley Riddoch examines whether Historic Scotland is making some of Scotland's oldest buildings uninhabitable. Turning an old, listed building into a home is a renovation dream, but tough rules on materials, design and permission could be pricing the average Scot out of restoring their own built heritage. But are the quango's powers about to be clipped by the Scottish Government to cut delays and keep the agency out of most repairs to listed buildings? Have you unsuccessfully applied for planning permission to upgrade a building? Or maybe you just have a view as someone who cares about our built heritage? Are some owners simply selfish and wreckless when it comes to supposedly improving their property? Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
