Landscape Character Type

Guidance on designating Local Landscape Areas, published in October 2020 by NatureScot and Historic Environment Scotland, defines landscape character type as: ‘Distinct types of landscape that are relatively homogenous in character. They are generic in nature in that they may occur in different parts of the country, but wherever they occur they share broadly similar combinations of geology, topography, drainage patterns, vegetation, historical land use and settlement patterns.’
