We finally have an answer from Historic Scotland and it is good news!
” [Historic Scotland] can confirm that scattering of ashes is permitted at most Historic Scotland sites, however requests to scatter ashes at prehistoric burial sites are unlikely to be granted, and no permanent marker will be allowed at any site. We do try to ensure the scattering of ashes is carried out at a time when the monument is quiet, to avoid distress to the mourners or visitors. Anyone interested in scattering ashes at Historic Scotland sites should contact the factoring team at Historic Scotland on 0131 668 8786 who will be able to help with the request.”
Historic Scoland is the organsition the owns and maintains over 300 over Scotland’s most importnat heritage sites including: Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle, Urquhart Castlem, Glasgow Cathedral, Skara Brae, Iona Abbey, Fort George, Linlithgow Palace, St Andrews Castle and Melrose Abbey.
