On the digital portal, trove.scot, users can learn more about Ayrshire’s rich history and significant buildings.
They’ll have the opportunity to discover more about the Alloway cottage where Robert Burns was born, and the Laigh Milton Viaduct.
Other historical artefacts on offer are archive images of Ailsa Craig and the 19th century excavation of a Bronze Age cist at Pun Brae.
Users can also unearth gems from HES’s Properties in Care, such as a medieval font panel on display at Crossraguel Abbey, one of the biggest and most ornate examples of its time.
The platform contains approximately three million records, covering over 5,000 years of Scotland’s history.
This includes designation records of important historic sites and buildings, a catalogue of Scotland’s archaeology and built heritage, and over 2,000 culturally significant objects from HES’s properties.
Katerina Brown, chief executive of HES, said: “We are excited to be bringing heritage even closer to people’s everyday lives with this new platform.
“trove.scot will make it easier to learn about the heritage and historic environment that surrounds you, whether that is the listed buildings on your street or archive images of historic events that shaped communities.”
The platform is designed to be a resource for hobbyists, educators, historians, and heritage professionals.
It allows users to search for information using filters, keywords, and maps.
Katerina added: “We hope that by making the vast store of information we hold more accessible, trove.scot will encourage more people to dig into Scotland’s past and see what they can discover with the new platform.”
