Earlier this year Historic Environment Scotland (HES) – the government’s heritage agency – earmarked the eight brutalist blocks for A-listed status. However, the move proved controversial and was widely denounced by council leaders, MPs and MSPs – including government minister and Aberdeen Central MSP Kevin Stewart.

Council lodges appeal against decision to list Aberdeen high-rise blocks

Council lodges appeal against decision to list Aberdeen high-rise blocks Updated: 22/04/2021, 8:03 pm © Heather Fowlie/DC Thomson Virginia Court and Marischal Court are among the buildings which could be listed. Council chiefs have launched an appeal against the controversial decision to grant A-listed status to eight high-rise blocks in Aberdeen. In January Historic Environment Scotland (HES) announced it planned to give the buildings the same protected status as iconic structures including Marischal College and Aberdeen Music Hall, signifying their “outstanding importance” to Scotland’s history. The decision provoked a furious backlash, with city leaders, MPs and MSPs accusing the agency of ignoring local opinion on the issue.

New guide for high rises lets residents know what they cannot do

© Darrell Benns / DCT Media Filming for the movie Tetris taking place on Seamount Court, Gallowgate, Aberdeen. Residents of eight listed Aberdeen high rises have, for the first time, had it spelled out to them what they now can and cannot do to their own homes. It affords the buildings the same protected status as Marischal Square and the Music Hall. Council chiefs are still trying to convince the government’s heritage quango that Gilcomstoun Land, Virginia Court, Marischal Court, Thistle Court, Hutcheon Court, Greig Court, Porthill Court and Seamount Court are not of special architectural or historic importance. Their appeal may, however, be hurt by the recent use of the latter two, in the Gallowgate, in the production of Hollywood Soviet-era film Tetris.
