This is a list of special old buildings in Newhills, a parish in Aberdeen, Scotland. These buildings are "listed" because they are important parts of history or have interesting architecture.

What are Listed Buildings?

A listed building is like a protected treasure! It's a building or structure that has been officially recognized as being important because of its history, special design, or how it fits into the local area. When a building is listed, it means people want to make sure it stays safe and doesn't get changed too much without permission. This helps us keep our history alive for future generations.

Listing Categories

In Scotland, listed buildings are put into different groups based on how important they are:

  • Category A: These are buildings that are very important, either nationally or internationally. They might be amazing examples of a certain type of building or have a very special history. (None in this list)
  • Category B: These buildings are important locally or regionally. They might be good examples of a certain style of building, even if they aren't as rare as Category A buildings.
  • Category C(S): These buildings are important for their local setting or are good examples of a common building style from a certain time. They still have historical value, but they might be more common than Category A or B buildings.
