West Dunbartonshire shown within Scotland
This is a list of Category A listed buildings in the West Dunbartonshire council area in central Scotland .
In Scotland, the term listed building refers to a building or other structure officially designated as being of "special architectural or historic interest".[ 1] Category A structures are those considered to be "buildings of national or international importance, either architectural or historic, or fine little-altered examples of some particular period, style or building type."[ 2] Listing was begun by a provision in the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1947, and the current legislative basis for listing is the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.[ 3] The authority for listing rests with Historic Scotland , an executive agency of the Scottish Government , which inherited this role from the Scottish Development Department in 1991. Once listed, severe restrictions are imposed on the modifications allowed to a building's structure or its fittings. Listed building consent must be obtained from local authorities prior to any alteration to such a structure.[ 3] There are approximately 47,400 listed buildings in Scotland, of which around 8% (some 3,800) are Category A.[ 4]
The council area of West Dunbartonshire covers 159 square kilometres (61 sq mi), and has a population of around 90,900. There are 20 Category A listed buildings in the area.
